In Chainsawing for Forest Citizens, we will cover fundamentals of chainsawing, including proper technique, safety, and honorable harvesting. We will be cutting logs for later application as substrate for shiitake inoculation. In the spring, we invite you to join us again to use these winter wood provisions to set up a mushroom yard in another workshop.
This four-hour workshop will be a winter solstice adaptation of Pine Hill Voices' Chainsawing for Greenhorns Course. We will be focusing primarily on learning and practicing chainsaw fundamentals, with a slight focus on applying these skills in a way that sets us up to create a mushroom yard in the spring. We invite you to take this course simply to learn safe chainsawing and to practice honorable harvest, to spend a beautiful time honoring the shortest day of the year in nature with one of the few options for season-appropriate land work, or as preparation to join us again in the spring to prepare our mushroom yard.
