Up Close and On the Ground With Canada’s Intrepid Tree Planters

Rita Leistner admits to having nightmares about planting trees. For almost 10 years she worked as a tree planter in the forests of British Columbia, and now she’s the creative force behind Forest for the Trees, a photo book and documentary about the intrepid souls who take on this arduous, relentless, and ultimately rewarding job. In the opening lines of her film she explains how those bad dreams have recurred every six months or so for the last 20 years, “… so it’s obviously something that has never left me.”

In Canada, logging companies hire professional tree planters to place seedlings in the ground by hand. It’s a seasonal job—physically demanding and over rough terrain. Leistner has found that most people can’t appreciate just how demanding it is.

Outside of the Infinite Two-Minutes Is Like 1917 Crossed With Tenet, But Cheaper and Far more Entertaining

I should really commence this piece on Over and above the Infinite Two Minutes, component of Montreal’s Fantasia Movie Competition, by saying “Just see it” — simply because it is effective brilliantly when you go in being aware of very little, and reading what follows will be a considerably inferior practical experience to just seeing the movie.
