-Are you wanting to learn basic chainsaw safety?

-Learn about mulching and using a mulcher

-Able to offer your help at a property in Pamapuria after the workshop??

You may have seen our recent post Being Prepared. This is the first of many workshops that Timebank will be running to help us all be more prepared in extreme weather events or emergencies.

Our expert Chainsaw/arborist, Roger Gale is offering his knowledge and skills to teach about using a chainsaw in a safe and efficient manner. With more and more extreme weather events occurring, now is the time to become prepared and know how to safely remove fallen debris that may have blocked your access or help a neighbour out who is in need.

If you’re able, we’re asking folk to lend a hand to the workshop host, Murray Lay and help at his property-tidying, clearing, mulching. Not essential but any help is much appreciated.

We’ll enjoy a shared potluck afterwards, refreshments provided. 

When: Saturday 14 September 10am-2pm

Where: Pamapuria (contact Caryl for the address)

What: Bring a shared plate-potluck lunch & gloves

*$40 for non-timebank members
