In this section we break down the planting scene by general regions.

 

Each section has it's own regional editor.

If you don't mind getting wet, day after day. If you don't mind continuous rain for days, weeks on end. If you don't mind slash so high, sometimes you wonder if they took any wood off the block at all, and if you don't mind being paid a little more for each tree, then planting on the coast is perfect for you.


Interior B.C.

Words By: Tim Cook

By volumne, there is no busier place in Canada (if not the world) for tree plantingthan the interior of B.C.


West / Central

Words and images by Scott Chisholm

 

The West/Central region spans from Northern B.C., through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Although this covers a huge land mass, many of the traits of the planting are common throughout the region.

The West/Central region is characterized by relatively flat land, occasionally some hilly regions, bugs, lots of mud and in many cases muskeg. The planting is fast with most planters putting in 1500 to 4000+ trees per day.
