The Cascade Volunteers Saw Program is a nationally recognized and approved sawyer training and certification program. Our program is implemented by Forest Service volunteers who are certified as C Sawyers or C Sawyer Evaluators who in turn can train, evaluate, and certify our own organization’s volunteers, other cooperating organizations, and/or Forest Service employees.
UPDATE: 2358.21 – Sawyer certifications that have expired or will expire will be extended until September 2021. All reevaluation requirements for sawyers and sawyer evaluators are hereby waived during this timeframe. The extension of sawyer certifications that have expired or will expire between October 1, 2019, and October 1, 2021, is necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant requirement for social distancing that has caused the cancelation of sawyer workshops, classroom and field training, and associated evaluations that are needed for sawyer
recertification.
