“Hello. I’m Scott Peterson, and my passion is being a professional consultant and chain saw instructor. I have provided training about chain saw safety and tree cutting techniques in a seven-state area, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania.”
Scott is U.S. Forest Service trained in demonstration of chain saw use and tree cutting techniques. There’s nothing Scott enjoys more than teaching and sharing his expertise at chain saw safety seminars.
During his years of teaching, Scott has trained many North Country Trail volunteer groups, and re-certified unrestricted sawyers for the Forest Service and United States Park Service.
Scott is approved to provide training and field evaluation of Forest Service employees and volunteers. His knowledge in Forest Service safety and training requirements is comprehensive and he is also familiar with OSHA standards.
Scott details some of his experience below:
As an instructor, Scott enjoys teaching and sharing his expertise at chain saw safety seminars. Groups smaller than twenty work best in the classroom, with less than eight people per day for field instruction which gives him more time to spend with each individual. He has trained North Country Trail volunteers, re-certified unrestricted sawyers for the Forest Service, and he specializes in precision directional tree falling.
Scott’s specialty is training people in directional tree felling, chain saw safety, and cutting techniques. Instruction of safe chain saw use and tree cutting techniques can be tailored for beginners or experienced chain saw users.
“My chainsaw safety and tree felling instruction utilizes the Forest Service training S-212 course material and the Missouri Department of Conservation training material. MDC is known for its exceptional quality of training.”
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, Scott can help. Whether teaching beginners or those with more experience, Scott will tailor a course to your needs.
Each year, Scott attends annual forest service conferences for Regions 8 & 9 (for states east of the Mississippi River) where he continues his education in the latest training information. He enjoys sharing knowledge and experience with fellow sawyers, as well as critiquing each other in classroom and field sessions.
When you want a tree removal job done by a nationally certified sawyer, please call Scott Peterson of SOS Tree Service. SOS Tree Service is fully insured to protect your property.
Scott’s niche in tree work is directional tree felling which allows him to drop the trees in the direction where he intends for them to fall. This skill has been developed through many years of dedication to the art of knowing just how to cut the tree. Scott will also utilize ropes to guide trees to the intended target, avoiding the need for heavy equipment, buckets, and excessive rigging.
There are many benefits for customers who use a directional tree felling service. Some customers prefer to own part of the job and save money in the process. After the tree has been safely dropped to the ground, the wood is accessible for firewood cutters who may not have experience or liability insurance for tree felling. This type of tree removal is also perfect for those who are concerned about heavy equipment tearing up lawns or damaging underground utilities such as septic tanks or drain fields. Having Scott drop the tree can save you money compared to a full service removal.
