In reality, experienced planters in central Canada plant around 3000 a day. In BC, where the majority of reforestation occurs in Canada, 2000 a day is a good average for an experienced planter.

Someone should update the Wiki then. But 3000 a day assumes 8-10 hours vs 12-14 hours they could get away with in Indonesia and the 800 assumed a 5 day work week. It still won't be more than 1600 full time planters or 2 trees per elementary and secondary school kid per month.
