Eight MTBco directors/members participated in a chain saw certification course held Saturday, March 21st. The course, put on through Wildfire Consulting Ltd, consisted of a half day of in class training and a half day of feild training. Participants learned bucking and limbing techniques and learned about proper saw maintenance.
Neil, the instructor, was great, ensuring everyone had a good time. Everyone learned skills that will be put to good use during MTBco trail days. MTBco would like to send a big thanks out to The Friends of The South Slopes (FOSS) for offering to cover the cost of the course for 4 of the participants. We all look forward to working with FOSS in the future and to continuing to help with projects in Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park.
No excuses for poorly maintained saws or weak technique anymore boys…!
Directors,
