36,000 people require emergency room treatment each year from chainsaw injuries. The average injury requires 110 stitches.   Gain the knowledge and confidence to safety operate a chainsaw as part of your invasive species management and land steward operations.

Join us for a workshop led by Purdue Extension forester, Don Carlson for classroom and field based education on chainsaw safety so you don't become a statistic. This event is appropriate for experienced chainsaw users and people new to chainsaws.

We ask for a $10 donation to take part in the workshop.  Each participant will receive resources including a Buckthorn Blaster herbicide dauber bottle (valued at over $10). HIP volunteers and anyone for whom the registration donation presents a financial barrier are encouraged to email claire.lane@hamiltoncounty.in.gov to receive a discount code for free registration. This event is ages 18+.

This event is brought to you by the Hamilton County Invasives Partnership with additional support from Hamilton County Parks and Recreation and a Clean Water Indiana Grant.
