FEll Basic Trees Manually
Also known as Chainsaw Level 2, this course applies to individuals who are involved in arboriculture, forestry, agriculture, conservation and land management, local government, emergency services and other government agency operations, responsible for felling basic trees using a chainsaw.

Trees classified as basic trees may have some of the following characteristics:
lean and distribution of the crown weight does not create a complex situation to assess, place the cut or fall
no excessive lean
no visible damage or defect
uniform in structure
species that are not prone to free splitting and adverse reactions during felling
single stem or non-complex multi-stems
small or medium diameter that can be safely felled using standard and basic felling techniques
