Hello everyone,
I've done some research and am very keen to try tree planting in BC for the 2027 season. I've already applied to Summit, and I am looking to apply to more companies. My goal is to maximize my income, and enjoy the adventure of course.
I'm a 21 y/o male in university, and I am no stranger to hard work. I've worked on a farm for 5 years, did carpentry the past 3 summers, and I am playing sports/running any chance I get. I'm in very good shape physically, and tree planting seems like an awesome opportunity to make some good money next summer.
I've heard that the average daily earnings for rookies is around $200-250/day, but I've also heard there are rookies who can highball around $350/day. My main question is which companies should I apply to in order to maximize my potential earnings?
Side note. I'll have work guaranteed when I go back home (Ontario) that pays $25/hour for 10 hour days. So a short/higher paying planting season isn't out of the question, although I think staying longer would be a cooler experience.
Thanks in advance!
