Notes:

We have a smaller season in 2011 due to the decreased volume of trees being planted this year in BC
In spite of some very low bid prices this year our planter price will be close to last year’s on all jobs. For more info on particular contract pricing contact the A&G office
All contracts are in the southern interior region of BC which is virtually bug free in the spring.
We work civilized hours usually 8-9 hours on the block. Blocks are priced so that you can make your money without working excessive hours. Our shifts are 5 on and 2 off.
For planters wanting longer seasons most of our planters find work in Northern BC or Alberta after we have finished. A&G knows most of the contractors in the business and can help planters find extra work in the summer.
Camp and Motel costs are $25 and 17.50 per day respectively.

Please can you send us your email address if we don’t already have it.

And as always, experienced panters only need apply.
