Cornell University's Department of Natural Resources will offer the "Game of Logging" training for land owners, with beginner level classes to be offered on either May 2 or May 18 from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm at the Arnot Forest (more advanced levels are available on other dates for those who already have completed the Level I training). These are small-group (maximum 10) hands-on classes with a certified instructor that cover safe chainsaw use, chain and engine maintenance, and tree-felling (participants personally fell a tree under the instructor's guidance). Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. Cost is $152 per day (there's a discount for NYFOA members) and spaces are filled first-come, first served. Full details, including participant feedback and on-line or mail-in registration forms, can be found at: http://www.dnr.cornell.edu/ext/forestconnect/GOL.html
