Our Goal:

How does this look like? We have three options for training.

2/ Basic Chainsaw Safety Course. This is for the absolute beginner to someone who has used a chainsaw. This course spends time with maintenance, filing, equipment and dealing with problem trees. Course is two days long. (1.5 days in the bush) Certified with Workplace Safety North
3/ Custom Focused Advanced Skills – This 3 day course would be customized to your organization to provide specific skill sets for on-the-ground chainsaw use. We’re ready to discuss options!
