NYFOA WFL chapter hosts Game of Logging
May 9 all-day

The Western Finger Lakes chapter of NYFOA is partnering with the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) to offer a Game of Logging Level 1 class on 09 May at Pete Muench’s property in Naples.

The Game of Logging is the premier training for chainsaw safety. Level 1 covers basic chainsaw sharpening and maintenance and felling trees. It is open to participants of any skill level, from those who have never used a chainsaw to those who want to learn a better and safer way to cut trees. Each class is limited to 10 participants and by the end of the day each participant will cut down a tree.

NYCAMH has received funding to subsidize this class, so the cost to register is only $25.

NYCAMH is sponsoring other classes around the state. These classes are open to anybody, so if you can’t make it to the one on 09 May you can register for one of the others.

To register, or for more information about any of these classes, call Erica Scott of NYCAMH at 800 343 7527 x2213.

Oct 17 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Katherine J. T. Humphrey will present a discussion on what is new or current in home food preservation – like increased interest in fermentation, using less energy, using what is available locally and seasonally, deciding on what method of preservation would be best for a single person or for a household of many people, where to begin if a novice or an experienced home preserver, and the place to go for research based answers to questions, especially when it comes to safety and quality considerations.

POSTPONED – Volunteers needed for trail blazing @ Bob & Ruth's
Jun 3 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

We need a few volunteers to help re-route a section of the FLT between Seman Road and the Old Cemetery in Naples. Ideally we need 2 crews of at least 2 people each, one to paint out the old blazes and one to paint blazes on the new route. We estimate the job will take about 2 hours. Painting can be messy, so wear old clothes.

If you can offer some time, meet at 11:00am on Wednesday June 3rd at Bob and Ruth’s Parking Lot at the junction of Route 245 and Route 21 in Naples.

 

One thought on “Calendar

  1. Looking for brochure.or mailing list so I can receive it in the mail.
    Nothing opens up for mailing list.
    There’s all kinds of very bizarre ads and post for viagra and other drugs above on calender page.
    Please let me know if there’s a brochure available
