What about the abuse of power and manipulation? I have seen many males in position of power prey on young women in camp. Locker room shit like bragging about breaking of the trucks 'oh shit handle' while fucking an 18 year old rookie. Another was sleeping with and 18 year old rookie while having a 1...

And to wrap up today's additions, here are the results for another contract for Planting in Mackenzie Contract: PL18DMK004 Client: MOFLNRO Mackenzie Season: Summer 2017 # of Trees: 1,170,630 This contract is a good example of the mindset that you don't leave the rink just because your team is down ...

... and the reason(s) they lost the contract are - (?) To be left to mystery out of respect for all parties involved. The rumour says that the owner of Wildwoods acquired his heli licence and was pressuring the client to let him do the Heli. The Client said no and wanted to continue to use the exis...

So far I'm finding this pretty but unusable - in the field to enter my tree price, it says 'example 0.11' but when I try to enter the actual price, there's no period. So it comes up as $20 per tree, which would be nice, but you know, sadly that\s not the going price. If I'm missing something obviou...

So the 2015 was my rookie season of planting, and now I am thinking of going back for the 2016 spring and summer contracts. I am wondering when it is a good time to contact your company? Would January be too early? My advice would be to branch out to a different region and company for your second y...

I think that might be an uneducated assumption. Just avoid the big dirties. Maybe timberline, nootka or bivouac could be worth your time, good luck with that though. One of sitka's contracts is supposed to be decent, the other not so much. Zbar, fieldstone, hawkeye and evergreen, are pretty sad the...

Why do they even plant western hemlock, when it comes in like a weed? I like planting little 3-10 lodgepole pine simply because of their size, however I think yellow cedar looks best when planted, and they're usually 4-10s which is about as small as it gets on the coast. Wfp has beautiful hemlock t...

I am not doing it for recognition, I'm doing it because I believe strongly in freedom of information. As for companies you actively promote, let's quote you from the top 5 planting companies thread; 1.Khaira 2.Batlang 3.Rock Reforestation 4.Bryan Adams 5.Osprey My personal Favourites. And nothing b...

Gingerplanter

@mike Those who go searching for recognition are in it for the wrong reasons;) Good job though, keep it up!

You should do more investigating because I have usually used this site to promote companies I work for.

The reality is that many planters are part of the problem and not the solution. Anyone who is employed with a company that abuses the university students for employment is further diminishing our ability to gain traction in starting a union. Folklore, spectrum, Brinkman, apex, blue collar and any co...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. People are hearing about integrity! Go away!

We all need our ei hours. Plant, plant, plant. Fill plant next year. We can't afford to lose a year of growth.

Gingerplanter

The problem is that companies that take advantage of the 4 year university planter. These companies have a large base for employment that happen to be temporary workers. With planters not staying long they can get away with having reduced prices because of the influx of new student employees will al...

This is what happens when you leave the job to politicians and children. A real dirt bagger would have made that little fucker grow.

It's hard to say for sure, but I would not be surprised if AKD dropped that bid if KKRF didn't win it. It's highly unlikely they have other work nearby, so logistically it doesn't make much sense to accept such a low price on a reasonably small contract. Also, this is not KKRF's first job (re - bre...

Plant faster.

Gingerplanter

If you are accusing someone of stashing, you are probably in denial because you are slow as f@ck. only bitter low ballers accuse highballers of stashing. Quit your bitching and plant more trees, or you could move to a company were that kind of slutty attitude is unacceptable.

With another season quickly approaching, I find myself once again struggling to come up with a better way to keep a set of bags on my skinny ass. After years of using them, I gave up shoulder straps in favour of better range of motion. It feels way better, I think, but having to pull up my bags/pan...

Early coastal starts in late January on the north island. Try bivouac.

Gingerplanter

The money is decent but there are 2 things to consider : -You will be staying in a tent on the coast in March. They are the last company to hold onto this practice. It can get cold and miserable, everybody else chooses planter comfort and conditions above cost savings !!! -Get used to crew planting...

Sounds like this guy is lucky to be alive since he broke the cardinal rules of bear safety, don't run and don't climb up a tree.

Ha, more like, "He saw me and then went to sleep. He must *think* he is one badass dude. I'd better gnaw on him for a bit, piss and shit all over him just so that he knows I own his fairy ass, then bury him under that there stump over there, and leave him for a few days until he starts to rot ...

But when the day comes that one asks me "Why is the sky blue?" someone will have to pry the planting tool from my cold dead hands, cuz I just won't be able to take it anymore. In grade 12, I wrote the Chemistry Institute of Canada's national standardized chemistry exam, given to high achi...

I think we forgot the true reason why there are not very many American planters.

I was. This comment could be posted in response to any number of threads but instead of sidetracking them (or posting this 100 times in response to every low price comment) I started a new thread.

If you work in Canada you must supply your SIN number. I don't really see how it would be illegitimate.

Yeah, I would imagine it's all moved out by now. They had just built that new rec hall there to the far right in 1995. It was a union camp so the food was top notched and the trailers were well cleaned between shifts. Husby is finishing their work at Eden Lake this coming summer. My friend is an en...

Anyway at Gainer Resources we just set up a cache and send the crew in- planters follow the trees of the planter next to them (everyone flags to facilitate this). Due to differing speeds, a dreaded 'cattle plant' generally does not occur and steps are taken to prevent this. Planters generally bag u...

Trent Gainer is the owner. Gainer resources is a wonderful company and this is the second year I have been working for them and I have enjoyed every minute of it. This is not a party company as everyone is serious about getting the job done. If you want to plant trees for good people and wonderful t...

No, they are selected (in the seed collection process) to be stronger and faster growing, but they are not GM.

The vet should be happy not to be working for a company that punishes workers forhelping one another. If your boss acts like this maybe you should rethink who you work for.

Yes it is Garth Hadley. And he is listed as the owner/director on the CR website.

Gingerplanter

Just like everyone on this website I am sick and tired of companies like CR ruining wages in this industry. I know it probably won't help but the owner of CR has his email on their site and I wrote him a message personally asking him what his response was to his company's actions. It probably won't ...

And finally, a big piece of this puzzle is the contractor supplying seedlings and labor. This has big advantages....I would get a very, very good volume discount from the nursery. I would get a further discount for being a quality contractor as the nursery helps out the best contractors so they get...

Most foresters are very careful with seed zones and using select seed lots on their projects. I've seen many blocks where a 20 meter difference in elevation led to using different types of trees. Now I would assume that the elevation has a relatively strong correlation to temperature range, on top ...
