Reliable, Renewable source of wood

I'm still quite new to the game and still learning a lot of the niches.

One of those niches is wood. An essential resource needed for cooking, smelting, building and keeping warm in the winter.

Yet, one of the concerning issues is my rapid use of said resource. Especialy when it comes to firewood usage. I'm worried I'll end up using more wood than I can replant trees. Especialy when seeds are already plently hard to get in the first place.

What should I consider when dealing with this? More restrait in my wood usage, other sources of burnable materials like grass for cooking? Or just hope I'll use up less wood in the future?

I feel like I'm being overly cautious here, but better to be sure than to fall into what could be a potential noob trap; Depleting my local forests and having to traval farther distances for wood. Whilst there could have been a better solution to this.
