I think that some woods are treated as nature reserves and there may be bye laws prohibiting the moving of wood as it is habitat for thousands of creatures. As has been said check with the forester. You may well find that he will offer you wood from hedges that are being laid or other work where they are not interested in collecting it up themselves.

If they are the felled branches/trunks you are collecting they should be fine for burning, anything else would be too soft.
