Game of Logging’s Small-Scale Yarding Course, Sponsored by: Northwest Certified Forestry, 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 expensive professional logging equipment.
With the use of small equipment such as ATV’s or 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.
This 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. Tools and techniques introduced in this program will help woodland owners work in the woods more efficiently and safely.
For any landowner who is considering buying their own small-scale logging equipment, this training course is a must!
