Thanks for the replies.
Yes, the real problem is that spruce wood is a low value wood for most uses. I could make small piles of logs and have a local fellow come in with his track-steer and forrester head to turn the logs into wood chips (but expensive). Or, if there is such a thing as a chemical that will accelerate the rotting process, I could place them in some low areas that could use some good top soil (in 10 years?).
