This is an interest list only. The cost of the class is $49.  Women’s Basic Chainsaw Safety & Skills Ellsworth Adult & Community Education is collaborating with Axe Women Loggers of Maine to offer a workshop for women who want to learn how to use a chainsaw safely, for working in the woods or for timbersports competition. Learn from World Timbersports Champion Alissa Wetherbee.  

Safety-toed boots or shoes are required, and please bring leather work gloves as well. Chainsaws and safety equipment are provided for the workshop, which will be a combination of presentation, demonstration and practice using the saw. The presentation/demonstration and some practical will be indoors, and small teams will rotate outdoors for chainsaw practice, so dress appropriately. Instructors: Alissa & Mike Wetherbee, Axe Women Loggers of Maine
