Old Version of Replant 2007 Tree Planting

[djbolivia]

@RhodiesNeverDie: the industry-wide survival in western Canada is probably usually between 90% and 98%, more often on the high end. Of course, there will be individual projects or plantations where mortality is significant, but the science has developed enough in the past twenty years that most of the seedlings usually grow to maturity.

[RhodiesNeverDie]

How many of these saplings actually survive?

Planted my first tree aged around 9, aged 52 now and still planting trees.

Loved the video and the sound very inspiring. Have responded with a news clip video of a little girl planting trees :) Sula is now married with 2 children who will be inspired no doubt by her video.

Reading the book My Life My Trees by Richard St Barbe Baker was very inspirational also.

The music used in this video may now be downloaded (for about a dollar) from iTunes, AmazonMP3, Rhapsody, Napster, and Shockhound. Just do a search on "When I Grow Old" by Mike Allison.

been a tree planter in Scotland for 9 years and would like to try a season in Canada any idea's on how to go about this? the tree's we plant here are much bigger than those struggle to carry 500 sitka spruce at a time.

[LeeMargett]

arent they just, planting plugs, have the 3 pocket bags like these guys and you can only fit 150 sitka in them, maybe 200 in a post bag. Eskdalemuir, tweedsmuir....makes canada look like heaven. plus i havent seen girls like that up in the scottish hills.

[sickpup4]

i bought myself a 4 pot bag but with all pots full its too much weight to be affective going back to the three pot system tomorrow. Where abouts are u based? I'm near newcastleton just now.

I love this video. This is why we keep going back.

Also...the song is amazing.

[AtomicCactus]

Great song, great video.  Brings back many memories.

[R0N1N86]

Great video, even better song

[djbolivia]

I actually wrote it myself (Scooter), but I got Mike Allison to sing it for me. He's got a much better voice than me. We kind of shared duties on the instruments - he did the acoustic guitar and the bass, and I did the piano, electric guitar, drums, and shaker. It got a bit of national radio play last year, so if it sounds familiar, that's probably why.

Well done on the song, HOLLA from Australia
