“Make the cut” with Arboretum arborist John DelRosso in this two session practical workshop, to be held Saturday – Sunday, November 5 – 6, in the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum. In the first session he emphasizes chainsaw operation, maintenance, and safety. In the second session he demonstrates sawing techniques and guides you in felling and cutting using practice logs in the Arboretum’s wood recycling area. Bring your saw to both sessions, if you have one. If you don’t own a saw but intend to purchase one, wait until you’ve attended the first class session to learn which styles and features are best for your size and needs. All participants should bring safety goggles, gloves, and ear protection to both sessions. Fee $80 member, $105 nonmember. Register on line at www.arboretum.harvard.edu.
