About the event
Part of the Redwing Core Curriculum, Buckin’ Babes is a welcoming, all-inclusive weekend for women and gender-expansive participants eager to develop land-based skills. Over the course of the workshop, you’ll progress from saw basics to practical field work that connects technical skill with stewardship and fire resilience.
Day 1 focuses on safety, equipment setup, and foundational cutting techniques. Day 2 builds toward real-world application—pile burning, brush clearing, felling, and shaded-fuel-break projects on the ranch.
Participants will:
Understand chainsaw function, operation, and safety protocols
Practice cutting, limbing, and log-handling techniques
Learn sharpening, bar-oil, fuel-mix, and general maintenance routines
