Eldorado National Forest Chainsaw Certification

The Eldorado National Forest is offering a class for certification as a sawyer. This certification is to be used in conjunction with with our adoption of the Long Canyon Trail. We typically run the trail 3 to 4 times a year to clean up trash and maintain the trail as needed. 

Here is the text of the email he sent me.

Hello All.  I just talked to Marc so here’s the latest and greatest.  Feb. 20^th to 22^nd works for Marc, but he has to see if his assistants are available.  Feb. is getting into training time for fire, so he has to check to see what others schedule is, but he will let me know ASAP if Feb works.

Also, it looks like the saw class for new certs is now a mandatory 3 days, two in the classroom and one in the field.  The days will be a Fri., Sat., and Sun.  For recert, Marc is almost sure you only have to attend the field class, but he’ll confirm.

Marc is working on a firm date for the first aid class and as soon as he gets a firm date I’ll let you know, but it will be before the saw class.  Marc is going to limit the class to about 25 or so, but if we get a lot more, Marc has no problem putting on a second class, so we will be able to certify anyone who wants it.  Keep me updated with a count on members who will be attending the class and I’ll keep Marc updated.  Thanks and it should be a fun weekend!

Note that this will be a 3 day class. It may be split over 2 weekends. There will be a list of required materials coming as well. 

The location will be the Forest Service Office in Camino, off of Exit 54 on Highway 50

If you want to attend or have questions, post them here and I will get them answered.
