About Heritage Reforestation
Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews are predominantly concerned with commercial reforestation in Canadian forests, as opposed to the afforestation processes that are carried out globally and have similar objectives and outcomes. The process of reforestation is the replanting of trees in established forests that have seen a proportion of their trees cut down. Whereas afforestation is the process of planting new trees to create new forests.
Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that they have planted over 20,000 hectares worth of trees annually, amounting to approximately 30 million trees in total. This is done throughout Canada with a workforce of over 500 employees.
Whether the reforestation project is large or small, Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that they are willing to visit the site and offer a quote for free.
Application Opportunities
There are several roles that applicants can apply for, allowing candidates to fulfill roles that suit their interests and schedules. Despite the main planting season beginning in May 2023, Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that the hiring for pre-planting takes place in April, provided the soil has thawed underfoot.
The predominant plantation period is between May 1st and July 15th, allowing the spring plant to last over 60 days. Heritage Reforestation requires the highest number of employees during this time frame.
However, the company also hires during the Summer and Fall seasons, allowing planters to carry on with their duties well after the Spring plant has finished. Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that these projects are likely to be smaller because they’re out of season but can still provide the same experience and employees will be able to enjoy the summer sun while working.
Job Requirements
The job can be quite hard work and involves working outside all day, regardless of weather conditions. Applicants should be fairly fit and capable of doing physical labor throughout the day. Days are often long, and although rewarding, employees should be motivated and passionate about the environmental work they’re doing.
Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that employees all stay in a camp, provided by the company and will work on projects located within an hour’s radius away. The camp provides hot food, showers and comfortable beds. Dietary requirements can be accommodated, and gourmet food is served every day. According to previous employees, the camp has been the center of the community atmosphere.
A typical day’s work with Heritage Reforestation includes waking relatively early, driving to your project base (which could be anywhere between 10 minutes and 1 hour away from camp), fulfilling planting duties, heading back to camp at around 5 pm, eating, and getting an early night.
If you’re a new employee, you may even get paired with a ‘veteran planter’ to help you learn how to do the job efficiently.
Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that their website has an extensive list of employee testimonies that give you a personal insight into the work provided by the company.
Payment
Planters are paid between $0.12-0.18 per tree planted. Any extra work needed to prepare the site for planting will be factored into the pay and any chores fulfilled on camp are taken into consideration too. Experienced planters can aim to make around $1000 per week and employees are paid via direct deposits every two weeks. Heritage Reforestation Inc. reviews that when you are involved in more than one planting season, the more you’re likely to be paid.
Additional summer work can help employees earn between $10,000-20,000.
