These pictures were taken in May of 2003, while planting for Canfor PG (Canadian Forest Products, Prince George Division).

A photo of Greg laughing about the snow, and laughing about the fact that he took two weeks to come planting while he was on vacation from his regular full-time job.

Veronica, our office manager, trying to figure out which crew gets each radio.

Our "camp moving" unit, ready to bring our camp out to the Kenney Dam.

Greg Nolli, our yard manager, apparently dancing a dance of joy now that our camp is finally heading out to the bush, which means that he finally gets some peace and quiet.

Digging a "dish pit" for the "gray water" remaining from washing the dishes.

Erecting the frame of the mess tent.

A bunch of "piss cans" - metal backpacks that hold water with a spray nozzle, used for fighting fires (or spraying other planters when it is really hot out).

Putting up some of the kitchen storage shelving.

Scirolli, wondering why we are bothering to put up a dry tent, when we know fully well that it is going to be so cold that it will snow instead of rain.

Lowell, holding up a trout that he found beside the brook by our camp. The bald eagles have been feeding regularly on fish from this little stream.

Someone else's planting camp, located about half an hour west of Prince George on the Yellowhead highway.

Sarah Mangos, sweeping out her kitchen trailer.

Relaxing after supper.

Brent Stewart, one of our crew members and top planters for about seven years now.

Allyson MacKenzie.

Waiting in lineup for dinner.

Dinner in the mess tent.

"We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing (is this referring to me?), are doing the impossible for the ungrateful." That's a great tree-planting slogan!

Tower, administering first aid to Mike, after Mike crushed his hand with a block of wood while splitting firewood.

Tower, looking like he's having far too much fun with the finger-splint gauze applicator.

Elissa and Conan, getting ready for a new block.

Nigel, one of our most helpful volunteers around camp.

Shelley, planting a tree.

Byron, working on paperwork.

Big smiles at dinnertime.

Ava and Sarah.

Jon Pike, wondering how the truck is ever going to get home (it almost didn't).

Kurt, helping Paul move boxes into one of his blocks on the Argo.

Sarah with Murray Booth, a Prince George region conservation officer.

Relaxing after supper.

Cleaning up garbage after supper.

Shelley, our data entry person, working on the payroll and other paperwork.

Log decks on the side of the block.

This is fairly obvious: the Cheslatta River.

A healthy young pine plantation, probably five to six years old.

A bit of block scenery.

A pair of baby bear cubs, climbing down from their previous perch, about 40 feet up in a tree.
