Wayback Machine: Chainsaw Class At Dixon Springs


This was a great two-day class taught by Instructor Joe Glenn.  The students were SIU Forestry and UIUC Forestry Students on Spring Break who were learning valuable skills instead of partying.  Good People.  This eastern red-cedar is all set up for the drop.  The face is cut, the hinge is one inch thick, and the backstrap is still holding the tree steady.  These young foresters got real good very quickly.


This little guy was a bonus for us.  Foresters see flying squirrels occasionally, but they are mostly nocturnal, so it is always a treat.
