Sawyer Certification Workshops
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy's sawyer certification program teaches Trail volunteers how to safely operate a chain saw to remove downed trees and cut materials needed for Trail projects. We offer free training courses, free personal protective equipment (PPE), and reimbursement of first-aid /CPR certification costs for MATC member trail maintainers. For others, the fee is $130 without free PPE and FA/CPR reimbursement. The Maine Appalachian Trail Club, in conjunction with the New England Regional Office of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, is planning for several chainsaw safety workshops in 2010. The dates are:
The workshops will be for both new certification and re-certification. The re-certification course will be one day only, the Saturday of the noted weekend. The one-day re-certification class is for Sawyers with a current Level B certification. If your current certification will expire in the next 12 months, or has recently expired, we urge you to sign up for a workshop and renew your credentials. Space is limited. If you are interested, please contact local Chainsaw Safety Certification program coordinator Craig Dickstein at craig.donna@wildblue.net or (207) 672-4983 or P.O. Box 128, Caratunk, Maine 04925.For more information on the upcoming course content and requirements, click the following link at the ATC website: ATC Sawyer Certification Website
