This is a town of at least 500-1000 people it looks like.
They either have very fast growing trees, or they'll deforest it fast, or the author doesn't have a mind for this.
I get the feeling it's the latter but this show tries to be scientifically accurate and it'd be weird for basic ecology to be missing from that.

EDIT:
Though if I remember the way Lutz was cutting the branches maybe it could be strategic pruning.
Still, I can't imagine that could provide that much firewood.

But oh! There are differences in the manga. This happened early in the story:

Look at that, the manga is smarter than the anime.

In case anyone is lazy like I was until now, the original is an LN but there was a manga adaptation.

Does it mean they predicted the readers might ask this question? And you asked it!

Is the answer present in the manga?

My prediction. I think it's pretty obvious at this point why I have it.

  Spoiler:  
This world has a hard magic system. I wonder what its rules are.

Hmm come to think of it the question wasnt answered.
However, magic seems to be a part of the natural ecosystem as well and later in the manga Benno says that the amount of magic determines harvest yields
I can no longer claim to be able to estimate whether deforestation would be an issue.

I don't think most readers would ask it. Some sense of ecological conservation isn't quite common knowledge.

I finished the manga and started on chapter 71 of the LN. I am now on chapter 74.

The thing with burning the tablets raises some brows. She certainly can hide the tablets somewhere. I think it's pretty weak plot at this point.
