Game of Logging

The Game of Logging (GOL) is widely acknowledged as the premier chainsaw safety and productivity training program, offering hands on chainsaw safety training in a competitive environment. At Paul Smith’s College your certified instructors combine demonstration with participation to teach chainsaw safety, productivity, conservation and cutting techniques.

At this time GOL offers four levels of chainsaw safety training, as well as skidder, forwarder, clearing saw, gentle logging and storm damage training. The training is offered to professional loggers, foresters, college students, trail crews, forest landowners, casual users, city-parks and utility workers, firemen, and anyone interested in learning any of the chainsaw safety techniques.
