Summer 2010 Tree Planting Video

Every summer, I take a video camera with me out tree planting. I don't have a lot of time for filming, but I do generally get to use it occasionally and get three or four hours of footage. And then, after the season is over, I boil that down into three or four minutes of some of the best clips, and turn that into a "Summer Memories" video for Replant.ca, my planting website. I got distracted with other projects for a while this winter, but I recently finished the 2010 video.

This year's video is especially exciting because it's the first time that I had a high-def video camera. My regular camera broke at the start of the season, so unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to get any footage from May or early June. But I got a good new camera near the end of June, and the quality of the video that it captures is far, far above the old camera.


Here's a link to the video:

I want to thank Lars Zergun & King Kong Reforestation for providing the backing audio, "Pounder Mix," which was used in this video. You can learn more about KKRF's music at:

Thanks also to PK of Peppermill Records for making the "Hi & Ho" project happen, which is where I found out about the song originally. Here's a link to where you can download the entire Hi & Ho album for free. Twenty-six songs in total, all planting-related, written and recorded by planters:

If you want to learn a bit more about tree planting, I'd suggest that you check out the Replant.ca website that I run, and go to the "photos" link at the top left. There are dozens of photo galleries there from the last ten years, each with between thirty and sixty photos. So there's lots of interesting stuff to look at.

You can also check out our YouTube video channel, which has all of the planting videos from 2002 onward, at this link:

Thanks, I hope you enjoy the videos/photos ...

PS: Unfortunately, I don't have any job opportunities as the camp is fully hired for this season.
