• Wednesday, April 16, 2025, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County, NY is proud to announce the following workshops:

• Game of Logging Level 1 – Wednesday, April 16th
• Game of Logging Level 2 – Thursday, April 17th

Due to a generous grant from Peckham Industries we are able to offer this class for $145.00 per person, per workshop. Normally the fees are $200.00 per course. Deposit of $60.00 is required. If you cancel after Wednesday, April 9th the deposit will be non-refundable.

Game of Logging Level 1 course will focus on introducing the participant to open face felling and to develop techniques to safely fall a tree. Topics include: personal protective equipment, chainsaw safety features, chainsaw reactive forces, bore cutting, pre-planning the fell, and understanding hinge wood strength.

Game of Logging Level 2 course will focus on maximizing chainsaw performance through basic maintenance, carburetor setting, and filing techniques. Limbing and bucking techniques will be introduced, springpole cutting is covered and more felling is practiced.

Participants must bring all safety gear including chaps, helmets, eye and ear protection, and boots (preferably with safety toe). Participants must also bring a gas-powered saw, gas and oil to run it.

Classes start at 7:30 am sharp and expect the classes to run until 5:00 pm. The location for these classes will be held in Chestertown, NY. Exact location TBA. We do need a minimum of 6 people per course to be able to run the workshops. In the event that we have to cancel due to low registration, a full refund will be issued.
