Prerequisite: This class is appropriate for anyone who already knows how to start a chainsaw. Instructor Angela Mellon is a Stihl Silver-Level Service Technician.

Do you want to take better care of your chainsaw, but don’t know how?  This course covers the basics of maintenance and preventive care. Students will have the chance to perform a basic tuneup, sharpening, and replacing the chain, as time permits. We will also discuss using the right fuel and oil for your saw. Bring your questions! We will NOT be starting saws or cutting in this class.

Supplies required: Students are responsible for supplying the following in order to perform a tuneup and sharpening on their saw. Please be advised that different saws require different sizes/styles. Any shop that works on saws should be able to sell you these correct parts: Gasoline-powered chainsaw, round file, flat file, fuel filter, spark plug, air filter, scrench, eye protection, work gloves (ex. Nitrile covered fabric).

Hummingbirds and butterflies need our help. Planting a garden or wild area for these most interesting species gives them a buffet and a place to lay their eggs. Specific varieties of plants and how to arrange and grow them will be discussed.

For girls entering grades 7th & 8th!
