Good day everyone,
We are looking forward to hosting a crosscut workshop on the Carson City Ranger District of the Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest.
The dates will be April 6th-9th. Location will be Markleeville Guard Station (55 Turtle Rock Rd, Markleeville, CA 96120). We will meet at 0900 on Monday the 6th and go a Risk Assessment/Safety Protocol followed by a discussion about dealing with hazard trees and mitigations. The first day will comprise of review and discussion to help reduce the number of incidents and lessons learned from folks in the field. Then we will start the recertification process for lapsed C-Evaluators first.
We will then split into appropriately sized groups based on the ratio of evaluators/participants.
The purpose of this training will be to increase the capacity of qualified sawyers and evaluators within our region and extending into our partner groups so that we can support our local staff needs.
Everyone in attendance should have previous crosscut experience and gone through the Developing Thinking Sawyers curriculum. If you need a review please reach out to me for materials.
Please fill out attached nomination form and respond by March 6th if you can attend or have folks that you would like to attend. Our capacity will be limited to 20 participants.
Additionally, we are still looking for qualified C Level Evaluators. If you have availability please reach out.
