This course is designed to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for women who have some experience using chainsaws and would like to get more hands-on instruction and practice. Participants are required to have had training in basic chainsaw use and safety. In this class we will dive deeper into cutting techniques such as: how to get out of common binds, more advanced limbing, and basic felling.

Additionally, in this workshop we will look at practical uses for chainsaw skills through the lens of wildfire mitigation around the home. Participants will learn about adapting homes to mitigate wildfire risk and gain hands-on experience with bucking, limbing, and home hazard assessments.

Protective equipment (eye goggles, earplugs, leather gloves, chaps, and metal toe caps) and chainsaws will be available to borrow, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you have them. There will be a chance to work on your own saw under a chainsaw maintenance professional’s supervision. You will need to wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and closed-toed shoes. 

This course is intended for women-identifying individuals, though all are welcome to attend. We strive to foster a safe and supportive learning environment and ask that all participants respect that. Space is limited, so sign up now!

Mountain forest management in North Carolina is much like the landscape of the Appalachian Mountains. It’s never quite what you expected but you’re so glad to be a part of it. Appalachian hardwood lumber is some of the most prized lumber in the world. Growing it from seedling to a quality sawlog, though, requires careful management. Join NC State Extension Forestry as we examine forest management being conducted in Avery and Mitchell Counties and see what practices can be employed on your property to generate a beautiful and profitable stand. A myriad of natural resource professionals from the Natural Resource Conservation Service, The Nature Conservancy, Roughed Grouse Society, and the landowner, Jim Phillips, will provide a walking panel discussion on managing quality hardwood sawtimber in the Appalachian Mountains.
