S212 Sawyer Training

We spent the last two days learning to create destruction and destroy creation with chainsaws. We were each able to fell a big hemlock tree. The feeling of mechanical power, cold mathematics, and rolling sweat was inspiring. Chainsawing is hard work and surprisingly orderly and professional; but we had fun anyways.

We are now trained and fully competent with chainsaws. Now all we need is our herbicide training and we’ll be ready to take out those invasive plants!
