SFI Approved Wood Measurements training

The Approved Wood Measurements training, sponsored by the University of Maine and the SFI implementation committee, was offered on July 21st and 22nd. Without this type of training, anyone wishing to become a licensed scaler in Maine would be required to apprentice under a licensed scaler for two years before being eligible to take a test to get their license. By attending this training, the apprenticeship requirements are reduced to six months. This is particularly important in today’s tight labor market.
