“Maintaining trails, preserving wilderness: where every stewardship hour leaves a lasting impact.” Our Field Crew Program puts boots on the ground to steward our wildest public lands. Each season we field multiple 6-person crews, working hard to clear trail corridors, install important trail features, stop or control erosion, remove downed trees, and so much more. 1. We take care of your trails so you can enjoy enhanced recreation experiences. 2. We create and maintain sustainable trails that last longer. 3. We contribute to beauty and natural resource protection. 4. We equip the next generation of conservation leaders. 5. We improve the health and wellbeing of our community. #wilderness60 #wilderness #stewardship #wildernessstewards #SAWsome
Traditional tools bring people together - across jobs, organizations, and states. We had a great time reuniting with our SAWS family at the Crosscut A/B, Crosscut certification course in Sugar Grove, VA. We had 17 students and 7 instructors and finished the course with 6 new A sawyers and 11 B-sawyer recerts! #wildernessstewards #wilderness #wildernessculture #sawsome #crosscutsaw #lovemyjob
The SAWS Board of Directors deserve all our thanks and appreciation for their volunteer service for our organization, to wilderness, for stewardship, and to improving wild public land access to all. Thank you board members for fantastic fall retreat. We are constantly reminded how important it is to gather together in person. We missed members Kim Smith-Woodford this weekend and outgoing board members Hannah Malvin, Veena Rangaswami, and Mason Boring. Thank you so much for making SAWS and the leadership team stronger! #wildernessstewards #wildleaders #sawsome

We love to share our love and technical skills on the safe use of traditional tools. We conducted a Crosscut Saw and Ax Course a few weeks back for the Carolina Mountain Club. It was a great weekend. We have another Crosscut Course scheduled for April 25-28, 2023. Located at the Ocoee Ranger District Work Center. There is no charge for the course. There are plenty of spaces left. If interested,please email our Lead Trainer Scotty Bowman for more information. [email protected] #Wilderness #sawsome #crosscutsaws #ax #training #workshop #sharing #traditionaltools

For my last days at the Salem Art Works NY/VT Artist Residency I got back into the welding studio for the first time since college. I love working with steel!

Raku’s unpredictability is exciting and inspiring, and it is good to keep a flexible mind. It is so exciting to lift the kids on the cans for the first time to take a peek at what the combination of your effort and the natural elements resulted in. 🔥 💨 🔥💨🔥💨 . . . #ellybarksdale #salemartworks #sawsome #raku #rakufiring #rakupottery #sculpture #figurativeceramics #ceramics
They all survived the bisque firing! Woot! Now on to raku, which is so wonderfully unpredictable. A fellow artist in residence and I got to run the first firing (I love 🔥), which ran beautifully.

I started off my residency at @salemartworks diving right into ceramics making two busts. These are built with the slab method. It was so satisfying to get my hands into clay again!

Tool Corner We were excited to receive our One Moving Part: The Forest Service Ax Manual posters last month. We like to carry a single-bit axe with our crosscut saw in to wilderness for limbing and driving wedges. Sometimes, we like to chop the tree out and cruiser axe comes in handy for the task. Which is your favorite? #axe #poster #usfs #stewardship #sawsome #wilderness #informative #one #moving #part #manual

Last Monday we spent the day helping out the Benton MacKaye Trail Association on a section of the Benton MacKaye Trail. One of the members got word that there were 30ish blowdowns on their section in the Upper Bald River Wilderness, Tennessee's newest wilderness. There were 5 of us and we were able to clear 25 blowdowns that were blocking the trail along a 4.7 mile section. The weather was perfect on this day. The many water crossings made for some chilly feet. #bmta # wilderness #stewardship #partnership #crosscut #sawsome #bentonmackaye

For SAWS, partnership has become the peak for our accomplishments and growth as a leading stewardship organization. Working with our partners, we provide educational training events throughout the year with courses such as Trail Design/Construction/Maintenance, Visitor Use Management, Rock Splitting/Shaping and Crosscut Saw Certification. As a designated cooperator with the Forest Service, we can provide crosscut saw education and training throughout the year, maintaining critical crosscut capacity for wilderness stewardship in the region. #sawsome #crosscutsaw #training #southernappalachians #capacitybuilding #wilderness #saws #partnership

Tool Time Tuesday!!! 🪚⚙ We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this absolute BEAST!!! Shops been in limbo without our original table saw while we pick at assembling this @sawstopsaws replacement so it's time to get back at it. This thing is absolutely solid and we can't wait to make use of it all. Tried to size everything up ahead of time so we could stack it into our primary work bench area Tetris style to maximize floor space. Some minor adjustments and a set of permanent leg blocks and she'll be good to go.

We are wrapping up chainsaw week, and we have been so busy we don't have any current pics to share but we wanted to take a moment to shout out to Lindsey May, the Field Team Program Manager for all her work in getting the 2021 season off to a great start!
