Two courses:

Sept. 24th: Oakville, WA

Sept. 28th: Vancouver, WA

This training program is for woodland owners and workers who want to extract trees from their property safely and without the use of expensive professional logging equipment.  With the use of small equipment such as ATV’s and tractors, arches, winches and block-n-tackle, logs can be extracted in a low impact manner with minimal damage to residual trees, understory vegetation and soils.

The program focuses on choosing the right equipment and how to use it safely.  The Game of Logging instructor, and other experienced operators, will demonstrate the use of the equipment and how to set up a small-scale, low-impact logging project.

Using the tools and the techniques offered in this program, woodland owners and workers will have the confidence and knowledge to safely and efficiently work in the woods.

For any landowner who is considering buying their own small-scale logging equipment, this training course is a must!
