Just some paperwork I can just submit online for small trees yea. You need to be a licenced woodcutter for large trees though.
Pretty much everyone gets their firewood from companies that sell it though. Like you buy a year or two's worth during summer and stack it somewhere accessible. Never heard anyone making their own if firewood is their main source of heat.
If you want to do maintenance that's allowed but if you are cutting down a tree for other purposes you need permission (And be a certified logger for large trees). Our main forestry service is government owned so firewood is pretty cheap, cheaper than owning the equipment to make your own definitely. If you wanna use your forest you can rent it out for example to some logging firm if your goal is to make money. I'm just happy to chill in my forest though.
