About this event

Game of Logging Level 1 combines lecture with a hands-on component, so students can practice their newly learned skills. Game of Logging is widely recognized as a leader in logging safety and introduces loggers, landowners, and land managers to chainsaw safety, operation, and open face felling. Other topics covered include personal protective equipment, bore cutting, pre-planning the fell and understanding hinge wood strength.

Participants are required to bring their own chainsaw and safety gear, which includes but is not limited to a helmet, eye protection, hearing protection, and safety chaps. This is a full day class held outdoors with strenuous activities operating a chainsaw in the woods. Each participant is required to fell a mature tree to complete the class. Light refreshments will be provided. Bring lunch and water for the day.
