Planters from Other Companies--Applications

PLEASE NOTE: All new applicants to Coast Range will require at least 2 references with their application. These references will be checked thoroughly before any offer of employment.

If you have experience from another company, please read the following information carefully before applying.

Tree planting is an extremely strenuous and physically demanding job. Please be aware of the level of activity that will be asked of you. We work in temperatures that vary from 0 to 35 C, and weather conditions that range from freezing rain to the scorching sun. Although all reasonable safety precautions are always taken, you will face high exposure to the natural elements; variable geographic terrain and obstacles; and full work days overcoming the persistent mental and physical challenges associated with the highly repetitive task of planting trees.  If you have had previous injuries that are not 100% healed or you are coming to planting physically unprepared, please stop and ask yourself if this work would be the best for you and your body.

What we expect from you: We expect from you what you should be expecting from yourself: a commitment to work hard in a challenging environment. It is common for the land, weather, access, stock type and quality requirements to change quickly from one day to the next. To be successful, you will have to learn how to work efficiently and to adapt to the constantly changing conditions that you will encounter.

What a first-time planter can expect on their first day: Imagine it is 3:30 p.m. on your first day ever of planting. Your feet are sore and your tree bags pull at your hips like a 50-pound barbells. You feel like you will never get all these trees planted. You keep putting your shovel in the wrong places and you've barely planted 200 trees. You are probably starting to wonder if anyone can possibly make any money doing this. You've heard of experienced planters making well over $250 a day, and your initial enthusiasm has been replaced by exhausted disbelief. You've never worked so hard in your life, and to plant $250 worth of trees you figure you would have to work more than seven times as hard!!!

But wait a minute! Before you toss your shovel over the cliff, you should know that you will never work as hard to plant 200 trees as you do on your first day. Like any physical activity, there are a lot of proven techniques to improve your planting efficiency: most of them have to do with saving energy – and moving efficiently to conserve your valuable energy.  If you listen, pay attention and give your best effort every day, you will learn to become a successful tree planter.

If you still feel that tree planting is a level of activity that you can handle, and even excel at, please fill out the Planters from Other Companies Form at the bottom of the page. We will be in contact with you within 2 weeks.
