NEXT MEETING

Walnut Felling & Bucking Demonstration

 

Saturday, October 26th @ 9am

 

1085 Greiner Dr.

Zanesville, OH 43701

 

MRWIG has arranged the opportunity to be part of the felling and bucking of 10 walnut trees. A logger has been hired and will be demonstrating chainsaw safety and felling practices in a confined space. 

Members can assist with the removal of tops, basic chainsaw operation, and ask questions to experienced fellers.

Please bring a sack lunch and water. Closed toed shoes and pants are recommended. If you wish to participate in the cutting activities, please bring your own saw and personal protective equipment (ear, eye, and head protection, plus chaps).

This is the first in a series of demonstrations in processing and utilizing wood products. Upcoming meetings will include firewood processing, sawing logs into lumber using a portable sawmill, and constructing a solar kiln.
