    As part of my work for the Student Conservation Association I just got to take a two day chainsaw course covering precision felling, maintenance, and efficiency. It was a great course and I learned quite a bit even though I’ve been cutting on my own for quite a while. We had some experienced loggers in our group, and even they learned a thing or two.

    I thought I’d ask- would folks from DAPnet be interested in joining a course like this if I tried to put one together at Longview? Two days, ALL skill levels welcome, learn to fell trees and maintain the saw. Learn some new tricks too?

    Jay, I would be interested. I have done the first part of the GOL, but I could use a refresher and have wanted to do the second part (which is the saw maintenance bit). Just depends on the day….Needs to be a weekend for me and a free one (which is far and few between this summer). Any chance you would run this in the fall?

    If this was run in the fall I would be interested too. I would be a real novice. Have used a chain saw to buck up logs, but never to cut anything down.

    Glad to hear folks are interested. I think we’d need a minimum of six to run it, which would come out to about $140 each, less if we can fill up the class. 10 is maximum. Looking at my calendar I like either of the last two weekends in November. Is this too late for folks? I’ll have a warm classroom.
