Summary: A chainsaw is one of the handiest tools to use in the proper management of your forest. Forest landowners can accomplish a wide range of tasks for wildlife, timber, invasive species, and recreation management by learning proper chainsaw techniques. Use of the saw brings with it the high risk of injury, resulting from unforeseen accident, careless misuse, or lack of understanding of chainsaw function in different circumstances. This demonstration presents tree felling techniques, basic bar and chain maintenance, the art of chain sharpening, basic chainsaw operating procedures, and safety equipment to use when operating chainsaws. This demonstration is designed for the forest landowner with minimal to moderate prior chainsaw experience. Hope to see you there at what promises to be an interesting and educational program.
