ROC Sponsored Chainsaw Course this July!
Learn chainsaw safety, operation, and maintenance with Greg Helton! ROC is sponsoring another chainsaw course for anyone interested! A sawyer certification will give you the knowledge and confidence to safely operate your chainsaw for whatever chainsaw needs you may have. Also, ROC requires proof of a valid certification in order for volunteers to participate in any chainsaw work with us, so this is a great opportunity to acquire that certification! This course will be taught by Greg Helton, an experienced sawyer and certified instructor. Sign up quick: there are only 10 spots available!
The course will be 2 days, with half a day in the classroom and 1.5 days in the field. We ask that you bring your own chainsaws and PPE:
• chainsaw chaps
• a chainsaw helmet
• ear protection
• eye protection
• thick gloves
• closed toe shoes (steel toe preferable)
ROC can provide some chainsaws to share and a limited number of chaps, helmets, eye protection, and gloves if you do not have your own.
This course comes at no cost to participants, though we are accepting donations from those who are able to offset costs! You can send us a donation when you sign up with registration link below.
When: Friday, July 18th & Saturday, July 19th
Where: Locations will be sent to those who register
