The PG job is a very tough job. I can see why people aren't interested. On that note, I received this useful info from a valued contributor (thanks!) re. the average number of bids submitted on each contract. This is "to date" in the sense that it's all of the public results posted earlier...

A tip for Avenza users on Android. Make sure that your "Power Saving Mode" is always turned off. Otherwise, if you're trying to do a GPS track in Avenza and you turn the screen off, the app also stops capturing GPS location until the screen is turned back on. This can give you a very errat...

Also, on a completely unrelated note, why does Plant Wizard on Android have no 30th or 31st in the month of July? Does nobody else enter block data into the Info Section? Has nobody else even discovered this? If we had a healthier and less over-worked workforce, there might be time for things like t...

there's some sort of inflation thing going around. I agree that the main drivers of ongoing operational cost increases which are mentioned above are quite significant, probably a lot more so than just basic inflationary pressures. That's saying something, considering that inflation has been so bad ...

Viewing Season is coming shortly. The first contracts are probably already posted on BC Bid, although the real action starts to happen around the beginning of October. I feel that this will be a pivotal year, similar to the Fall of 2018. The west coast planting industry showed some serious cracks in...

Locked, to wrap up another year. We'll continue this conversation in the 2024 section.

This thread should have been broader than simply the elimination of plastic flagger. It should have been titled to address the elimination of single-use plastics. As I suspected a few years ago, change is being forced on the industry from above. We plant unwrapped trees on the east coast. I suppose ...

I heard there were quite a few failures this spring.

And summer.

Foresters need to be more creative and descriptive in naming things in Plant Wizard and Dropbox. It gets tiring seeing the same titles over and over as as project names in PW (or maybe a great title, but no year), and trying to figure out whether it's the correct project out of a list of 30-40 histo...

I do wish that they had offered "additional info" boxes for every question. It's hard to pigeon-hole a lot of the answers for those questions.

This was in today's WFCA Newsletter: Doubts Raised About Bioplastic Flagging Polylactic acid-based cornstarch flagging may not be as biodegradable as hoped: you may have to cook the molecules for the bonds to breakdown. The Ministry of Forests is recommending planting contractors hold off on major p...

I just saw this:

Relevant for anyone who has ever cursed at the shitty access that is sometimes created [intentionally] between the time that harvesting is complete and planting is complete.

I found a few tick maps that were produced by NRCan, maintained in ArcGIS, and relevant to current species distribution in Canada.

Since I'm on the subject, here's a graphic that illustrates the different between a hoedad, a mattock (pick axe), and a pulaski (fire axe). The mattock appears to be almost a combination of the hoedad (a bigger hoe than the light hoes used in garden) and the pulaski. Hoedads have been used extensive...

Someone just shared this with me. It's a bit of history about the Hoedads, the planting co-op in the US several decades ago: When Gary Ruvkun tucks his 4-year-old daughter, Victoria, in bed at night, he often gets a request for a bedtime story. A Hoedad bedtime story. So Ruvkun, a professor of genet...
