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.

The Nature Conservancy is asking for volunteers to help maintain trails within the West Hill Preserve. Springwater Trails is maintaining the portion of the Bristol Branch of the Finger Lakes Trail through this preserve.
Directions are on the Nature Conservancy website.
Volunteers are needed to assist in picking up roadside litter along a stretch of highway in the Town of Springwater that Springwater Trails is in the process of adopting. We will meet at the Fire Hall parking lot at 9AM for a mandatory safety briefing presented by NYS DOT. They will provide the required hard hats and safety vests. You will want to bring gloves. NYS DOT will also provide the collection bags and pick up. The plan is to work from 9AM-12PM, lunch at Sammy’s, and (if needed) work from 1PM-4PM. Ask your friends to join us. So NYS DOT can be given an approximate number of participants, please let Wendy know if you plan on helping out – wsteven@frontiernet.net .
