Hi undergrads and grad students!

 

This is a really great opportunity to expand your skills and confidence with small engines, running a chainsaw, and doing so safely.  Don’t pass it up if you think you’d like to learn.  I am forever grateful to my mentors who showed me how to maintain and operate these types of equipment safely: chainsaws, pressure washers, gas powered lawnmowers, weed/string trimmers, etc.  See Annie’s note below!

 

Kind regards,

 

Khrystal
