I love how at 0:21 he plants right next to the pine seedling at his foot. Fuck naturals! Glad to see they werent respected back then either

this is gravy!

This song feels just like treeplanting in Malakwa in 1986 for Crow Point. The only thing missing is deep green slash, rain, mud, bad roads and bugs. Despite all the difficulties,treeplanting looks to be just as much joy as it was in my youth...

@fagslav Baba Brinkman, probably conceived on the clearcuts, child of the owner's/ founders' of Brinkman & Associates........... and the heir to the company i suppose.... search him on youtube, he's got a great one about Harper and many others

[fagslav]

the rap part is the best, with the planting hoes in the background and such.. well done. i still miss planting..

[Doigyisabenny]

AWESOME!! (but, umm, not actually a waltz...)

[granolagrassroots]
