 Rick
Lutz and Eric Dahlberg, regional loggers, are posed with
their new Trained Logger Certified job site signs. These
18 X 24 inch signs are given to regional loggers who become
Trained Logger Certified. The Trained Logger Certification
(TLC) program was developed to provide loggers a comprehensive
training that covers three areas of importance to loggers,
including appropriate chainsaw use and safe tree felling
techniques, forest ecology and first aid/CPR skills. Game

Valley YMCA Model Forest in Claryville , NY and covers basic

three classes can be applied towards a Trained Logger Certification.
