Scooter's Summer 2008 Planting Memories Video

Here's Scooter's latest season resumed in a video:



At one point during the summer, our camps were operating for the same client, not too far away from each other (just about 100 klicks away, which is not far in planting distances). But his spring season was mostly in British-Columbia, while ours was mostly in Sasktachewan and around Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.

Scooter's Camp Video

Jonathan Clark, best known as Scooter, is a camp supervisor for Folklore in Alberta and British-Columbia. He is the webmaster of Replant.ca , a highly informative treeplanting website, mostly regarding the way it's done in Western Canada. His website is recommended not only to any prospective planter, but to any planters, thanks to the great pictures, insights and tips.

Aside from the pics, two sections are really interesting: Scooter's diary is a great way to get the point-of-view, routine and problems expected and faced on a day-to-day basis by a camp supervisor. His reference material is also incredibly detailed for all information, from the actual act of planting trees to the crewboss, or foreman, information.

A must read.
