SUMMARY:Game of Logging Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Register here\nThis training presents the Game of Logging 
 program, re-designed for private forest owners, firewood cutters, and 
 homeowners wishing to gain a more thorough knowledge and practical, ha

 afety, and saw and chain maintenance.  Each level builds on skills fr
 om previous training levels, so advanced levels require participation 
 in earlier levels.  Registration includes hands-on training with a Ga
