SUMMARY:Game of Logging - Level 2
DESCRIPTION:This training presents the Game of Logging program, re-des
 igned for private forest owners, firewood cutters, and homeowners wish
 ing to gain a more thorough knowledge and practical, hands-on experien
 ce with safety and productivity.  No experience is required for Level
  I participants.  Participants learn increasingly advanced techniques
  during Level I, II, and III for directional felling, safety, and saw 
 and chain maintenance.  Each level builds on skills from previous tra
 ining levels, so advanced levels require participation in earlier leve
 ls.  Registration includes hands-on training with a Game of Logging C
 ertified Instructor, handouts, light refreshments, and a certificate o
 f completion.  Participants personally fell a tree under the guidance
  of a certified instructor.  All sessions start at 7:30 AM and conclu

 e a saw safely to reduce fatigue, understanding parts of a tooth fo
 r sharpening, understanding the reactive forces of a running chainsaw.
  We will learn the proper way to do a bore-cut. Participants learn t
 he mechanics and physics of hinge wood, directional felling to a plan,
  and how to identify the lean in a tree. \nLevel II includes: Saw mai
 ntenance to reduce downtime and improve the performance of your chains
 aw,\nSafe handling of spring poles, felling to a plan with more preci
 sion, introduction to limbing, and safe removal of hung trees.\nLevel 
 III includes: use of the GOL \"Pro-sight\" tool to calculate tree he
 ight, understanding hinge length to control side lean, advanced fel
 ling and wedging techniques, limbing techniques for side hill and tens
 ion wood, trees will be felled against the natural lean. Some limitat
 ions in felling will be identified.\n\nFor more information visit htt
