2025 Sawyer Certification - Date may change

Note: All prospective volunteer trainees will be put on a wait list. We'll finalize the trainees closer to the actual date.

This course requires about 4 hours of online prework prior to the class. The class consists of a Tuesday afternoon in-person training session from 2:00 to 4:30, and Wednesday in the Forest at Lily Pad Lake Trail from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. The in-person training will be held at the Eagles Nest HOA Community Center at 2700 Golden Eagle Road, Silverthorne, Colorado 80498.

ESWA has partnered with the US Forest Service to certify Sawyers as Class A or B Buckers who lead ESWA's teams of Sawyers to clear trails in Eagle and Summit County, Colorado. Please note that our training is highly prioritized toward individuals who we believe will contribute to ESWA and help us clear trails. Therefore, we typically prefer that someone work with us for a Summer prior to becoming certified. If we have open spaces, we may allow individuals who we have less experience with into the class. If you are interested, please sign up for the training and we'll finalize the class and notify you in April/May 2025.
