Women and Our Woods: Game of Logging Level I
Danville, VT
Women and Our Woods Vermont is hosting Game of Logging Level I. This class is the first in the series and focuses on introducing the participant to open face felling and the development of techniques for safe use. Topics covered include personal protective equipment, chainsaw safety features, chainsaw reactive forces, bore cutting, pre-planning cutting a tree, and understanding hinge wood strength. Each person in the class will cut down a tree. Participants must bring a safety helmet with a face shield, eye and ear protection, chaps, as well as lunch, water, and snacks for the day. If you do not have the appropriate equipment, please reach out to us. It should not stop you from attending. Bringing a chainsaw is recommended but not required. Class size is limited to 10. The discounted cost is $200 thanks to a US Forest Service grant. Contact VT Coverts to register by emailing lisa@vtcoverts.org or calling 802-877-2777.
