Felling medium trees (NPTC unit CS32)

3 day Lantra CLMC 52 X

Course description

The Medium Tree course teaches candidates how to fell trees that are up to, but not greater than, twice bar length. In practice, this means felling trees that are up to 30″ (760mm) diameter with the size of saw that they undertook their basic chainsaw training with. The cuts are more challenging because they still have to meet accurately, but the bar can be completely concealed in the tree. The Medium Tree training course also teaches candidates basic winching techniques, because manual take-down is not going to work on a hung up tree which is 30″ in diameter.
