Ready to take your trail stewardship to the next level? Join us for a Chainsaw Sawyer Training, led by the Appalachian Conservation Corps, on August 14 and 15 at the scenic Massanutten Western Slope.

This hands-on training will equip you with the essential skills and safety knowledge to effectively and responsibly operate a chainsaw for trail maintenance and restoration. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer looking to expand your expertise or new to trail work, this course will provide valuable certification and experience in sustainable trail stewardship.

What to Expect:
🔹 Expert instruction from Appalachian Conservation Corps professionals
🔹 A classroom day where you will learn proper safety and handling
🔹 Hands-on practice in a safe, controlled environment
🔹 The satisfaction of giving back to the trails we love!

Who Should Attend:
This training is ideal for interested volunteers who are passionate about keeping our trails clear and safe for all riders and hikers. No prior chainsaw experience is required—just a willingness to learn and a love for the outdoors.
