A two day comprehensive training course on precision tree falling and chainsaw safety.
Northwest Certified Forestry invites you to attend The Game of Logging, Soren Eriksson’s world famous course on safe, efficient, and precise tree removal. Based around the concept of ‘open face felling’, this course will change your approach to working in the woods.
Because the Game of Logging’s approach is so unique, the program is appropriate for a wide range of saw users and skill levels - landowners, public employees, foresters, conservation groups, even production loggers.
This two-day program will primarily focus on falling 12” - 20” doug-fir in a dense, overstocked stand. Working in dense stands can be complicated as trees can get hung up and imprecise falling can damage residual trees. Therefore, tips and techniques for safely and effectively thinning dense
stands will be covered.
Time will also be spent in a 20”+ alder stand. Alder has a much different wood quality than doug-fir or other softwoods and its growth habits can lead to unique challenges for falling trees.
Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions and be sure to register soon as these classes will fill quickly. We look forward to seeing you there!
