Women and Our Woods: Beginner Chainsaw Use & Safety
NorthWoods Stewardship Center, East Charleston, VT
Women and Our Woods Vermont invites you to learn to be safe with a chainsaw! This course is designed to introduce the safe handling of a chainsaw, as well as boosting the confidence level of anyone who has very little or no experience with a saw. Topics covered: parts of a chainsaw, safety, bucking (cutting an already felled tree), and basic maintenance. Participants should bring a helmet with face shield, eye and ear protection, or chaps if they have them, otherwise these will be provided during the class. Also bring lunch, water, and snacks for the day. This is a hands-on full day course and is an excellent foundation for someone who may go on to attend the Game of Logging Levels 1 through 4 trainings. Class size is limited to 10. The cost for this class is $200 thanks to support from a US Forest Service grant. To register contact VT Coverts by emailing lisa@vtcoverts.org or calling 802-877-2777.
