The Minnesota Women’s Woodland Network (MNWWN), is hosting two chainsaw safety and use workshops for women with little or no chainsaw experience. The UW-Madison Forestry Extension is hosting an identical workshop. The principal focus of these three workshops will be on safety. This includes safe posture, safe practices, safe clothing, and safe habits. This workshop will empower women to become more knowledgeable and comfortable with running a chainsaw. 

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!
