Tierra is pleased to bring this outstanding chainsaw training back to north central Washington taught by instructor Pavel McGlave. Pavel was mentored by Ken Lallemont who traveled the world to develop training programs that emphasize efficiency and technique that will improve productivity, help reduce chainsaw related accidents and increase overall safety awareness. This course will change the way you work in the woods regardless of experience level. Please see more about the training below.
Program is hosted by Tierra Forestry, which includes active commercial and pre-commercial fuel reduction work and provides some nice amenities in the woods to base the course from. Training will be from 9-5 each day. Participants should bring their own equipment: weather appropriate clothing, sturdy boots, hardhat and lunch at minimum.
