This women's chainsaw safety course is designed for women who have attended an introductory chainsaw safety training, and/or have extensive experience running a chainsaw for tasks short of tree felling.

Participants must bring a working chainsaw and proper personal protective equipment (PPE). The agenda will be tailored to participants' needs and will likely include an introduction to directional felling.
