Hi planters, I just landed the contract I've always wanted and I could use your help.

Shakti Reforestation is a small company that operates 6 months of the year planting and picking pine cones. Highballers have always made over $400 a day and sometimes a lot more than that! It’s a lot of fun too, planters run this place and this is a good chance to get involved. If you want to make some real coin and work for a cool company then please give me a call ASAP and help me pound out these trees!

Grande Cache, AB -Starts May 20th, hotel show, then move to camp, 10 cents and up for fast fast ground. Please call or write with questions.

Peace,

Chris

LIVE THE EXPERIENCE!

We have found in the past that SEASONED TREE PLANTERS make EXCELLENT LOGISTICIANS. We are interested in hiring people with tree planting experience to work with us overseas. We invite you to go visit the following link to see ‘who is needed’.

If you are going tree planting this summer, we strongly suggest you take your camera! Trust us, there will be many moments that you will want to record - and possibly share.

Tree-planter.com loves seeing and sharing people's tree planting photographs. If you end up with a bunch of good ones, we would like to feature you here on Tree-Planter.com. Many of our gallery contributors have had their photographs featured in other media after being found on this website.

We also like random submissions so send us some of your classics and we will get them shared with the masses! Info@Tree-Planter.com

Hi Tree-Planter.com,

The BC Forest Safety Council has created a Helicopter Passenger Safety Guide and a Marine Passenger Safety Guide (Floatplane Passenger Safety Guide still in development), I thought these maybe of interest to you and the readers/members of Tree-planter.com.

These guides are intended as general reference for passengers and should not replace regular training.

Please feel free to forward them to anyone that they may be of interest too. They are not yet on your website, but I hope they will be soon! If you have any comments, questions or feedback please contact me anytime, my information is listed below.

Are you freaked out about working in the wilderness amidst all of the big and potentially nasty critters? Well, you should be at least a little concerned. Trust me, it is no fun being woken up by a bear sniffing your tent at 5 AM in the middle of nowhere - I know!

If your employer has not already offered you some basic wildlife safety information, here are a couple of links to a training program courtesy of MyOTF.com to give you some basic wildlife Kung-Fu.

Please forgive the cheesy "radio guy" voice overs.

You won't have access to the quizzes that are mentioned. Sorry, we'll get those shared next year. :/

Hey, be safe out there!

Add a comment or something if you find this kind of information useful. We have more stuff like this and we don't mind sharing it with you if there is interest.  

Hi folks passing by tree-planter.com. My name is Alexis Carrier-Giasson and I will be running a 13 planters crew in the Vernon and Merritt area this spring for Coast Range Contracting. The work is supposed to start on May 7th and will go until around the 25th of June. It is obviously very late to have open spots in a crew and the reason for this situation is that I was supposed to run a six pack until few days ago when we got work for more planters.

We are filling our final crewboss position for the 2012 planting season, commencing May 1 through to July 1.

We offer very competitive crewboss pay. If interested please send your resume to matt@heritageinc.ca and attach a description of why you think you would make a good crewboss.

Full Time Supervisor/Crew Boss Position

We are a New Zealand based company that is currently looking for an enthusiastic, hard working person to lead our crew of New Zealand tree planters. The position would mainly be based in New Zealand’s biggest city Auckland but is mobile in nature throughout the country. If you want to see some of New Zealand this is the opportunity you have been looking for.

Most people love to eat great food, but while working in a remote camp, such as a Tree planting camp, food takes on more of an emotional role in addition to a mandatory daily function.  In fact, if you ask anyone who has worked in a camp before just how important the food is, they will most definitely say that the food is the highlight of their day and the phrase “the heart of the camp is the kitchen” is used frequently.

• My pay rate is higher than most because I only take experienced planters that don't need training.

• Private cabin is available free of charge!

• 4-wheel drive truck is also provided free of charge!
