Chainsaw replacement, back to work!
Donation protected
Hello!
I'm Jerry, a 26 year old college student. I am pursuing a degree in Fire Science Technology at Aims Community College, in Greeley CO. This fall will be my second semester!
While going to school I also work. I have been working in Land Conservation for 4 years now and love every moment! I have built trail in many locations in Colorado, places such as Roxborough State Park, all of the parks in the Denver Mountain Parks system, even around the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
I also do fire mitigation, thinning our state forests to help prevent forest fires. After recieveing my S212 - Wildland Chainsaw certification I fell in love with tree work. I have close to 1,000 hours running a chainsaw and everytime I start one up I am doing something benificial to the environment.
My goal in life is to continue my environmental stewardship. When I am not working, I am volunteering with land conservation organizations such as Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado and Wildland Restoration Volunteers. I love what I do.
This is where the need for a new chainsaw comes. The majority of the work I do with a chainsaw require me to have my own. Unlike my previous employeer which provided use of their saws, trying to find more work will require me to own a chainsaw myself.
Getting the funds for a saw that can do the work I need to get done would mean so much to me and help continue the passion I have to helping with fire mitigation in our parks and forests.
This is the exact saw and one that everyone that I have worked with in the US Forest Service said will help me with any tree I would face.

Again helping me with this benifits not only me but my community and anyone who visits Colorado's state parks and forests.
Thank you!
