Contract questions

Hi, I’m curious if there’s like a public database for contracts handed out to companies from clients... I’m sorry if the questions inane, this is my first year planting.

I’m currently working on a Tolko contract, and my crew lead’s sent the contract in a group chat but I wanted to know if they’re publicly available. I’m interested in how theyve shifted over time (tree price tree amount type of ground etc)

Is there such thing?

Another question?

Why are summer tree contracts so difficult to get this season? Has it been getting more difficult each season over time?

I was speaking to a vet planter on my crew (Im a rookie) and we talked about rising summer temps overall being a potential factor, contributing to dryer and hotter land reducing ROI by impacting tree survival and possibly even more accidents/injuries on the block (arising from heat exhaustion, sunfucking, dehydration, etc.)

What do other planters think??

Question?

Curious about an estimate of how many trees would survive in a block allocated for like 60k trees if planted in ideal conditions in south interior bc?

Does the estimate grow exponentially? like if posed to a block allocated for like 150k trees, would the ratio increase proportionally?

Rookie reflections

My crew is so great and its my first time planting and I really feel grateful that I got scooped up by the foreman that I did. I think its made all the difference.

I remember being completely sure I would never hit 1000 trees and the other day I finally hit 1300! I still concern myself with keeping high numbers in land that requires a lot of screefing and stuff also on snow days and through 30+ degree weather and keeping motivation when I’ve thrown my shovel like 10 times into straight redrot but its really mindblowingly hopeful to me that I keep surpassing what I thought I couldnt do. Planting has really helped my self esteem!!!

I🩵Planting! I write poems on my days off. I’m going to compile them into a mini anthology for my crew when the season’s over. They’ve quietly affected me in a way I’ve never really had before.

Here is a bear pissing! At the end of the day we all piss. This was on the last day of my first shift. Also a spine! And a heart on a tree. Thanks for reading folks!!!
