B Sawyer

The module-based training focuses on "Developing a Thinking Sawyer" and emphasizes risk management, human factors, and sawyer safety. Forest Service sawyers can still attend approved training courses until the new program is finalized. A Sawyer Certified at the B level may operate a saw in moderately complex situations. This certification applies to either chainsaw or crosscut use and can be for bucking only for those sawyers not needing to fall trees. B Sawyer Website
