This is the second event in a two-part series to build skills and confidence using power tools. After an introductory webinar (held May 7) we will take up the tools and head outdoors. Instruction for and by women will build upon the webinar’s introduction to woodland management. Participants will learn from dynamic instructors at Squashington Farm in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. This day-long event is all about empowerment. Prepare to feel capable in the woods, ready to tackle conservation concerns, and pick up that chainsaw with confidence.

The May 7th webinar was free to all. Due to the nature of the event, Registration at the May 21^st field event is limited and will cost $100/person. Upon registration, you’ll receive instruction on what to bring and to wear for a day of outdoor learning and camaraderie.

Arborist Rebecca Seibel, owner of Tree Spirit Consulting, and Olivia Kovacs, natural resources educator, will lead the trainings. The goal is to introduce women to the tools, skills, and equipment integral to woodland management. Participants will learn how to assess woodland health, identify invasive non-native species, and receive direct instruction on the safe and effective use of power tools, especially chainsaws.
