I've never heard of anyone cutting a tree down for firewood
The logs I burn are from pruned trees and those felled for other reasons (e.g. they were diseased and unstable). Tree surgeons are always lopping branches and tops off trees and that's what gets turned into firewood round my way.

Of course, if someone is going round clear-felling trees purely for firewood, that would be environmentally dodgy.
