Making the Cut: Basic Felling Techniques

“Make the cut” with Arnold Arboretum Head Arborist John DelRosso in this practical workshop. John will quickly review basic chainsaw operation and safety. He will then demonstrate sawing techniques and guide you in felling and cutting using practice logs in the Arboretum’s wood recycling area. Bring your saw, if you have one. If you don’t own a saw but intend to purchase one, wait until you’ve attended the class to learn which styles and features are best for your size and needs. Participants must bring safety goggles, gloves, and ear protection. Dress for the outdoors and bring a snack and beverage. Registrants must sign an Assumption of Risk and Release to participate.
Fee $45 Arnold Arboretum and MTWFA members, $55 nonmember
