Talk:Treeplanting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is it just Canada, or do other places have scads of university students rushing off to plant trees for the summer? Probably this article could be generalized somewhat, but I hesitate to make claims about treeplanting other places. In particular, I'm sure there are places the workers are underpaid and exploited and conditions are awful. Maybe some in Canada. --Andrew 07:34, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Treeplanting
Yes treeplaning is not just in Canada... It happens in Australia, South America, and almost anywhere ther is responsible forest management.
The treeplanting culture page should be linked to treeplanting, because the culture is intrinsically linked to the job.
It seems like the article would be better named 'a tree planter dictionary.'
I can't find any sign of the article "Treeplanting culture" that is proposed to be merged into this one. Does anyone know what's up with that?Lisamh 16:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] East Coast Planting
Just noting to readers that there is a significant amount of treeplanting in NS as well as NB, and it is often done with planting tubes called dibbles instead of shovels, and paid by the area planted rather than by the tree. These are not fringe examples, please don't generalize treeplanting so much....
[edit] updates
Hi all
I couldn't find a treeplanting culture page either, so I put a bit in about that on the main treeplanting page. Definitely someone should add some text on treeplanting in Australia. As for the rest of the world. . . it's not as big a phenomenon, from what I know, and definitely not a 'free market' venture like in Can. Perhaps I'll add something about NS and NB too, and the loathed dibbles. Any feedback?

[edit] Slang
I added some new treeplanter slang. I think htere may be more to come but I would like to do it as a proper dictionary deffinition.

[edit] Culture
Hi all
I see that J's and my treeplanter lingo has been taken off the page. Treeplanter speak is a bit profane, but it is the language of the culture. Does it not deserve representation?
