SAWYER CERTIFICATION

For me the Course was a certification refresher.  I took the course in 2005 and have used many of the principal safety considerations for the past 6 years.  Most of our work is done with one main, large and/or small, pruning saws which we carry regularly into the back country.  Not having injured myself or left a saw stuck in a tree trunk is, in no small part, due to applying course information and practice.
