Cornell Cooperative Extension will be offering three Game of Logging courses in April 2021. Game of Logging Level 1 course will focus on introducing the participant to open face felling and to develop techniques to safely fall a tree. Topics include: personal protective equipment, chainsaw safety features, chainsaw reactive forces, bore cutting, pre-planning the fell, and understanding hinge wood strength. Participants need to bring safety equipment (hard hat/shield; hearing protection; chaps; steel toe boots...), chainsaw and lunch. Due to a generous grant from International Paper and the Capital Region Industrial Development Agency cost per person, per class is only $45.00. Pre-registration is required. Payment must be received in full no less than 10 days prior to workshop date and no refunds if canceling 7 days prior to the course. To register call 518-668-4881 or email Dan Carusone at jc69@cornell.edu.
