Beginner’s Chainsaw Training – Sept. 26

Want to learn to chainsaw, but don’t know how to get started? Join TLC’s staff Restoration Tech Kevin Wendtland and Ecologist Daniel Pohl to learn the basics in a hands-on way. Participants will be introduced to protective equipment, basic chainsaw maintenance, and the development of technique to safely fell a tree and cut it up. 

Participants are welcome to bring their own protective equipment such as leather gloves, safety glasses, earplugs, and chaps, but we will have some for people to use during the class as well. Participants are also invited to bring their own chainsaws! This class is tailored to beginners who have never used a chainsaw. Please bring lunch and water.

Date/time: Saturday, Sept. 26, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Location: Hennen Conservation Area, 4622 Dean St, Woodstock
Fee: $35 (TLC members); $50 (nonmembers), please register
