Game of Logging is a world-recognized training curriculum that teaches chain saw skills. Developed in the 1960s by Sören Eriksson, a Swedish logger turned training instructor, the Game of Logging combines Scandinavian logging techniques with the latest systems for working safely around trees.
Game of Logging training is hands-on. One instructor works with a group of eight to ten participants to ensure that each participant has time to practice the techniques and receive personal feedback. Participants receive individualized coaching at a series of in-the-woods practice stations. The instructor pays close attention to body positioning and other factors that can contribute to unsafe work habits.
By listening to explanations, watching demonstrations, and then practicing techniques, participants come away with better work habits and greater confidence in their ability to safely fell trees and work in the woods.
Instructors are commercial loggers teaching the standardized Game of Logging curriculum. The four levels of GOL courses are taken in order and for this session, Levels 1&2 are bundled to be taken sequentially on the same weekend. We only accept registrants for a single level if we can fill both sessions by doing so.
These courses are notorious for filling quickly and this offering is one of very few offered in Southern Vermont this fall. Carefully review the terms on our registration sheet regarding cancellation or weather postponement.
Matty Adams of Pine Hill Voices (PHV) is course registrar and works with landowners to set up the forest classroom for attendees. See all the upcoming courses offered by PHV at https://pinehillvoices.love/woodlands.html. Questions can be directed to Matty at pinehillvoices@gmail.com.
