Ellsworth Adult and Community Education

Ellsworth Adult & Community Education is collaborating with Axe Women Loggers of Maine to offer a workshop for women who want to learn how to use a chainsaw safely, for working in the woods or for timbersports      competition. Learn from World Timbersports Champion Alissa Wetherbee.  

Safety-toed boots or shoes are required, and please bring leather work gloves as well. Chainsaws and safety equipment  are provided for the workshop, which will be a combination of presentation, demonstration and practice using the saw.  The presentation/demonstration and some practical will be indoors, and small teams will rotate outdoors for chainsaw practice, so dress appropriately.
