I have a piece of residential property that the previous owner allowed to become badly overgrown. Way too much yellow pine and sweetgum. I hired a tree removal company to get out the big stuff and the trees that posed a hazard to the structures, but I still have lots of small - medium sized ones (from saplings to trees with 8" trunks) that need to come down. Most of these trees can be safely felled without risk to structures or other trees I want to preserve, so I figured I'd try to do the work myself. Buying the chainsaw is the easy part. Where can I go for proper training in how to bring down these trees, then safely limb and buck them once they are down? I'm looking forward to the challenge of bringing them down, but I want to do it properly and safely! Any recommendations are appreciated.
