Rodent, I think you're missing a good deal here. The summer is a perfect time for all these wonderful visitors to help you cut and split wood for your fireplace. The wood needs time to season so you can't expect to do this during the winter. Don't have a fireplace? Well, you MIGHT be getting one soon, or a wood stove, and the wood is even better if it seasons a couple of years.
Note, with your high regard for the environment using such tools of the devil as chain saws and gas powered splitters would be evil, an ax was good enough for old-timers.
Don't have trees on your property, dude, SOMEWHERE in your state there are trees that need cutting.
