Join us for a workshop to learn the skills to monitor A.T. corridor lands including finding and following property boundaries, identifying encroachments and maintaining boundary line markings. New and current corridor monitors are encouraged to attend. Bring a lunch, compass and be prepared to bushwhack. Learn the skills and techniques to monitor and maintain NPS A.T. boundary lines in Maine. The MATC corridor monitoring program has openings for new monitors.
Course is an excellent introduction for new monitors and a refresher for current monitors.
Return to top Chainsaw Safety Workshops These courses, with the exception of the ADK course, fulfill the requirements for chainsaw operation anywhere on the Appalachian Trail as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding between the ATC, National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service. Currently chainsaw certification is not required in any of the New England states, but it is highly recommended. Workshops cover the basics for a beginner and provide the more experienced sawyer with a safety refresher. Instruction will emphasize safety, saw chain function and maintenance, cause and prevention of kickback and other hazards, proper use of equipment and modern felling, limbing and bucking techniques.
