Instructors Ken and Nathan
"You
will learn to bore-cut and fell trees safely. If you have
any bad habits (unsafe practices), be prepared to change.
Your
instructor, in my
opinion, is one of the best in the world. His students have
competed
with the best in Sweden. You will be taught European cutting
methods. The US Forest Service has adopted most of these methods."
--Clyde Samsel
A perfect
score!
