Tree Planter

putting trees in the ground is a typical day at work, what i learned its not just about planting. there is alot of duties that comes with treeplanting for the foreman position to do throughtout the day. as for management, the foremans responsibilities come with managing the trees, the quality of the work produced by the workers, the crews, and the locations. keeping track of how much trees we have total and how many were planted through out the day. your co workers are important as treeplanting is a team work environment. the most enjoyable part of the job is the peace within the bush. making new friends and working in teamwork environment.

Lovely environment to be in. Typical day at work is waking up early morning and leaving for work. Reaching the work site you are given a couple of boxes of trees and off you go. Plant till 5 pm or 6 pm and head back to camp. Enjoy a lovely cooked meal and socialize the rest of the evening. Same routine everyday for the season. Management is great and the co-workers are lovely people. Hardest part of the job is being able to push yourself to plant more than the previous day and give it your best. The enjoyable part of the job is being able to grab a handful of berries while planting and enjoy nature's sweets.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I go out with the workers, run trees and do lots of paperwork, make plans for the following days, meet with staff, do whatever needs to be done.

A typical day at work being 10+ hours to finish a couple Ha of land and to walk around with only a shovel and 40+lbs of trees at your hips.  Planted on average 2500 trees a day for about 5-8 day shifts with one day off.  Hard-work but shaped me as a person for my work ethic and appreciation of what hard work is.

This job allowed me to meet a variety of people from all over the world. I lived in a camp meaning I was constantly in close proximity with these people and it caused me no discomfort. I learned to push myself physically and mentally because of the long hours and difficult terrain, this was the hardest but also most rewarding part of the job. The most enjoyable part was at the end of the day when everyone joined back at camp for dinner.

Tree planting requires you to work very hard, long hours in changing weather conditions. You typically work 10 hours a day and get paid per tree you plant. Very challenging work and you live in a tent for 2 months. Great experience and you get to meet incredible people. The money is good when you become a good planter.

Tree planting was a tough job that required lots of  energy and determination. A typical day included getting up at 6:00 to eat breakfast, plant trees from 7-5, eat supper, play some ping pong and go to bed. I learn't how to work very had to earn a good pay. The most enjoyable part of the job was driving to and from the working block every day.

Tree planting  I really like cause it's in the bush where u can camp out and plant aĺl day  and it's on your own pace like if you get 300 seedlings in a box at 12cents  a tree it's up to you how many boxes a day u will plant

Most days you wanted to quit, but by the end of the day, you felt as though you actually accomplished something great. It was mostly based on trees planted, so it was something you had to dedicate to.

Tree planting is one of the hardest job you can have, but the harder you work the more you make. If you can handle bugs and stings and probably a few bears then you can handle tree planting. Prepare to cry everyday and make a lot of money.
