SAWW Chainsaw Training: Level 1

Join SAWW (Safety and Woods Worker) trainer Luke Saunders (Forester with Adaptive Restoration LLC) for a hands-on training in chainsaw use, maintenance, and technique. Spend time both outside and in the classroom, practicing how to operate chainsaws safely, comfortably, and productively.  

This class is part one of a four level series through the Safety and Woods Working training program (SAWW).

Topics include:

• personal protective equipment (PPE)
• body mechanics
• chainsaw safety features
• the chain and the cutter tooth
• reactive forces
• planning and executing tree felling, limbing, and bucking
• introductory bore cutting and open face felling

Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell at least one tree. You are encouraged to bring your own equipment if you have it; helmets are mandatory.

Pre-registration required. Space is limited.

Fee:   Riveredge Members: $120/person |   Non-Members: $135/person

Please note: Riveredge has recently upgraded our registration system. The good news? Registering for programs should now be much quicker and much easier! You will easily be able to register multiple family members at once, save your contact info for easy reuse, and quickly browse available programs. The bad news? Because this is a new system, we can not transfer over your old account. Unfortunately, that means you will need to create a new account on the new system and re-enter your information. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience, but please know that once you have your new account created and your info saved, you’ll have to do very little work to register for future programs.
