About this event
Description
We're sorry, but this program is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, December 7, 2022.
Registered District volunteers are invited to learn or get a refresher course on the basic set-up, maintenance, and trouble-shooting of using a chainsaw for restoration projects. Hands-on practice time is included.
If possible, volunteers should provide their own chainsaws and personal protective equipment (ex. helmet, chaps, leather work gloves, steel-toed boots, and safety glasses). A limited amount of chainsaws and protective equipment are available to be checked out from our volunteer supplies for the training day.
Interested volunteers should contact Volunteer Coordinator Jackie Bero at jbero@mccdistrict.org or (815) 219-1549 in case of any questions on borrowing equipment, parking, changes, or cancellations due to weather.
Please watch this chainsaw safety video prior to attending.
*Note: If this event is cancelled due to weather, the back-up day will be Saturday, December 10th.
