In preparation for the upcoming season, Saws and Slaws is offering a chainsaw safety and maintenance class in Nederland on May 25th. This is a great idea for anyone who operates a saw at home or plans to participate in a S&S event this year. There will be a classroom component followed by time in the field where instructors Eric Folwell and Eric Philips will go over basic felling techniques and how to safely work in groups. For those who are interested in additional training in tree felling techniques, the instructors will attend the Saws and Slaws event on the following day and offer additional one-on-one instruction to those who take the extended class.
In order to increase the safety of our events, we are asking anyone who plans to operate a saw at upcoming Saws and Slaws events to take this class. Those who would like to fell trees during the events should plan on taking the extended class with additional one-on-one instruction. The cost for the basic class is $40 per person with an additional $20 dollars per person for the extended instruction.
Classroom spots are limited to 16 students – sign up now to ensure your spot in the class!
