well, actually, not all of the links (\"green wood\" recycling) are relevant, but I still say this is the term you are looking for. And it fits you so well.

\"timber\" or \"lumber\" are fine but I agree that \"green\" is the best way to render the \"Frisch\" in \"Frischholz\"
Peer comment(s):

agree Will Matter : also completely acceptable and accurate.

Background info - not for points

Green wood is the translation of Frischholz given in my dictionary of wood science. And here's a good definition.

Green Wood
This is wood that is 'fresh', that is, taken straight from a felled tree or a branch that has been removed from the tree. The wood still holds a vast amount of water and because of this is easier to work with, softer and still retaining its natural, living shape. When green wood is dried, it can crack and split due to shrinkage from the loss of moisture. However, if stacked and stored correctly, wood can be dried, or 'seasoned' so that splitting, cracking or decay do not occur.
