Based on the concept of ‘open face felling’, The Game of Logging is the world’s leading method for safe, efficient, and precise tree felling. Developed by Swedish innovator Soren Eriksson, the program combines tree felling techniques gleaned from around the world into a complete training program that will change the way you work in the woods.

The Game of Logging’s unique training program emphasizes efficiency and technique that will markedly improve productivity, help to reduce chainsaw-related accidents, and increase overall safety awareness to many groups including: urban foresters, tree service workers, land-owners, utility companies, loggers, federal, and state agencies.  Because the Game of Logging’s approach is so unique, the program is appropriate for a wide range of saw users and skill levels, from novice to expert.

This two-day program will primarily focus on falling 12” - 20” alder in a storm damaged stand.  Alder has a very different wood quality than Douglas-fir and presents unique challenges to felling.  

Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions and be sure to register soon as these classes will fill quickly. We look forward to seeing you there!
