What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Tree appraisal — assess visible twist, surface rot, and heavy limb growth on standing timber to inform felling decisions with minimal supervisor input on active harvest units.
  • Directional fall control — score cutting lines with an axe and execute undercuts along those lines with a chainsaw to influence fall direction on moderate-diameter trees in a production timber setting.
  • Back-cut execution — saw back-cuts while maintaining sufficient hinge wood to guide fall direction safely on routine timber stands without step-by-step direction.
  • Wedge and jack placement — drive felling wedges into back-cuts to correct lean and prevent saw pinching during standard felling operations on a logging crew.
  • Bucking to specification — measure and cut felled trees to designated log lengths using a chainsaw, meeting mill requirements on a production logging site.
  • Escape route preparation — independently clear brush and small saplings from work areas and two planned escape paths before beginning felling on a new setting.
  • Lean estimation — gauge the degree and direction of a tree's lean using visual reference and simple instruments to select appropriate felling technique on varied terrain.
  • Post-cut log assessment — inspect bucked logs for correct length, sound wood, and absence of excessive defect before bucking crew moves to the next stem.
  • Chainsaw maintenance — perform daily bar oiling, chain tensioning, and air filter cleaning to keep equipment operational throughout a logging shift.
  • Crew communication — use standardized voice and hand signals to coordinate safe movement of personnel during active felling on a multi-person logging team.
