All,

Please see link below for Federal Register Notice for public comment on proposed National Saw Policy.  The Proposed National Saw Policy will be available for public comment until August 17, 2015.

From the link “The proposed FSM 2358 provides direction on sawyer qualifications, training, evaluation, and certification requirements for Forest Service employees, volunteers, training consultants, and cooperators using either chain saws or crosscut saws on NFS lands.”

For those of you that clear trails and groomed routes on USFS managed land, this could potentially impact you.

Thanks,
