Participants in Level 3 SAWW training will spend most of the day in the field practicing techniques to operate chainsaws safely, comfortably and productively.

Topics covered include: review of information from Levels 1 & 2, focus on planning and executing limbing and bucking.  Participants in Level 3 should be fully equipped and prepared to work with and maintain their own chainsaw; helmets are mandatory.

Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell and limb or buck at least one tree.
