Fortuna S212 Training Field Day

A Fortuna Center Corpsmember practices chainsaw cuts in Humboldt Redwoods State Park near Weott, CA. The practice opportunity was part of the S212 training course.

Chainsaws can be intimidating tools. Picking one up and operating it both safely and properly is not an easy task.

But, Corpsmembers throughout the CCC learn in the classroom, then train in the field on how to make appropriate cuts and safely bring down trees.

Here’s a look at one of many chainsaw training days at CCC’s Fortuna Center where Corpsmembers learn skills that can jumpstart a career.
