|Recurring Event (See all)

One event on April 14, 2024 at 8:00 AM

These courses are hosted by Dane County Parks and taught by certified SAWW (Safety and Woods Worker) trainer Luke Saunders. We are hosting level 1, Level 2Level 3, and Level 101 courses. These are part of the four-level SAWW series designed to increase safety and efficiency of chainsaw use – here is more information on the SAWW program. These classes meet FISTA standards. Participants must 18 years of age or older by the class date in order to register.

What is SAWW 101?

SAWW 101 is SAWW Level 1 material over two days instead of one day. This allows more time for participants to use their chainsaws than the SAWW 1 course. Both SAWW 101 and SAWW 1 result in the same Level 1 certification, though you must attend both days of SAW 101 to obtain the certificate. We are hosting this class because we want to offer people the option to build confidence using their saw while an instructor is present.

Cost:
•    Registered Dane County Parks Volunteer (Volunteers must already have a current registration form on file): $100
•    Volunteer for Non-Dane County Parks Land Restoration Agency: $210
•    Private Individual, Non-Volunteer: $280
•    Private Individual, Non-Volunteer – 50% Scholarship/ Financial Assistance: $140

To register: head to our reservation page to view Chainsaw Training details.

  1. Details for each class are found under “Description”.
  2. You will have to either sign-in or create a new account in order to complete registration. The site should walk you through that process and it should be fairly simple. You’ll have to add your age in order for the system to allow you to register (participants have to be 18 years and older).
    1. Note: participants must complete SAWW Level 1 prior to registering for Level 2.  Likewise complete Level 2 prior to registering for Level 3.
