Managing your Backyard Woodlot: How to Safely Use a Chainsaw and Logging Arch for Small-Scale Low Impact Logging

Join us for an exciting opportunity to attend the 2025 Summer Forestry Stewardship Workshop: Managing your Backyard Woodlot - How to Safely Use a Chainsaw and Logging Arch for Small-Scale Low Impact Logging!

This workshop is tailored for individuals with small woodlots who want to learn how to safely fell trees and remove logs from their woods using small equipment. A large percentage of woodlot owners want to be more active in collecting logs or firewood from their properties, but are unsure how to do it. This workshop will address small-scale, low-impact woodland management.  

We will cover the following topics:

• A demonstration of chainsaw techniques to safely fell, limb, and buck logs to length. 

• Hands-on use of a logging arch to move logs out of the woods for processing using a small tractor, ATV, or pickup truck.
