SAWW picks up where UTiH2LzR (Urban Timber Harvesting for Hardwood Lumber Utilization and Recovery) ends. maintained by properly trained crew members and felling is safe, quick, and professional. SAWW picks up where UTiH2LzR ends. We all seem to have more trees to remove than time to do it. Operators trained in SAWW, following directional felling, can safely fell trees in minutes that might take hours with ropes, rigging, or bucket trucks. Because of this, SAWW is emerging as a new partner for training organizations, individual trainers, municipalities, and tree services in directional felling and chainsaw train- ing, based on the teachings of Soren Ericcson, with UTiH2LzR dove-tailed into the curriculum. As previously mentioned, SAWW is bringing municipal workers up to speed on many aspects of storm damage recovery, directional felling, saw maintenance, and assistance in developing credible internal programs for incident response. SAWW's goal is to establish a clearinghouse of trained sawyers able to teach and work with not only municipal workers, but also others in the field of arbo- riculture. SAWW training also seeks to provide a list of knowledgably SAWW Training Certified trainers in order to help you connect with the appropriate individual(s) for your training needs. 12 SAWW Training membership benefits include: • Annual refresher training offered for all SAWW trainers at a central location • Each SAWW Training Certified Trainer will be provided with sponsor products. • Accessibility to a network of professionals to provide assistance and answer questions • 20-plus years of grant writing experience to assist members or clients of members in obtaining funding to reduce training costs • The most up-to-date chainsaw training, mainte- nance, utilization, and industry information • Exposure to potential clients via the SAWW Training website and other media.
