The Minnesota Women's Woodland Network (MNWWN) is partnering with Dovetail Partners and Wisconsin Forestry Extension to host three workshops geared towards participants with little or no experience with a chainsaw or those looking to become trainers for future chainsaw safety workshops. The principal focus will be on safety; safe posture, safe practices, safe clothing, and safe habits. This workshop will empower women to be comfortable with running a saw and saw knowledge. These are the same workshop, just offered in three different locations.

Sessions will include:

• Personal Protective Equipment review
• Other safety equipment
• Buying and maintaining a saw
• Demonstrations of safe felling techniques
• Hands-on opportunity for supervised, safe practice
• Assessing the safety of the cuts
• Answers to your chainsaw questions!

This will be a two day workshop from 8:30 - 4 pm for both days.

Food is not provided. Limited rustic lodging is available upon request at an additional cost of $40 per person. For lodging questions please contact Gloria Erickson at 218-365-0878 or at gloria@dovetailinc.org.

More information will be provided upon registering.

If you have your own chaps, helmet, and chainsaw, please bring them to the workshop. A limited supply of these items will be available to use for those who do not have their own equipment

Space is limited to 15 per workshop so register early!
