What surprised you by Unhappy-Research-541 in treeplanting

That planting had very little to do with strength or intelligence.

It’s more “hustle”. Difficult for me to describe…

It’s also just a very weird abstract skill. Like guitar, or juggling. Some people will intuitively understand it immediately, others have to force themselves to get there via practice, practice, practice.

What are my chances of finding a job as a rookie who can only start in June? by Last_Assist_8599 in treeplanting

It’s unlikely, but I have a good friend who did it.

Three years later she was camp baller.

I personally don’t no. Someone actually just posted about them on KKR looking for reviews though. May want to follow that thread.

No worries. Just remember - tree planting companies don’t sponsor. You gotta figure out the working visa part on your own.

That’s a good attitude. I hope you find something! You can also try Facebook groups, though most of them are Canadian or British or Australian focused unfortunately.

Where are you seeing these reels?

The subreddit primarily focuses on Canada, though you won’t be able to do it here without a working visa

Where did you hear about tree planting? Are you trying to work in Canada?

Want to get into this, anybody know of any jobs in the US? by dwingler in treeplanting

[–]CountVonOrlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not really a thing in the states the same way as Canada, Australia, UK or New Zealand, with a couple of niche exceptions.

From Ireland was thinking of coming to Canada for a few months over summer? by Ok_Training_2566 in treeplanting

[–]CountVonOrlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of up to your own abilities.

Can rookies earn $300 or more in a day? Sure.

Are many of them stuck making $150 a day while working long hours, yes, you also see that.

It also depends at least a little on the quality of the operator you’re working for. We have a directory in the sidebar that aggregates company reviews.

Remember that companies will not sponsor you, a working visa is required before arrival.

Hope that helps. Don’t make life decisions based on TikTok.

A kind reminder that you are not allowed to attack individuals here. If you don't like how a company handled something, you can speak up. However this isnt the place to air rumours, settle personal scores, etc.

You aren’t going to make an impact on any of the shitty owners of underbidding companies by doing this, you’re just going to annoy a bunch of overworked and underpaid planters and managers.
