Anyone who is even remotely interested in logging, and lives in the northeast, should attend this. It doesn’t get better than GOL for a structured saw training program.

If you have enough interest in your area you can often work out something closer to home with the GOL folks.

I’m with Scott on this training. Maine has it available through the Certified Professional Loggers at different locations throughout the state in the spring and fall. In addition we take a GOL level 2, 3 or 4 at each re-certification. I remember when I went into it a dacade or so ago another old time logger complaining all the way through until we did the directional felling. He looked at me, smiled and said, “by god this is pretty neat.”
