Summer 2011 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 2011 video.


Here's a link to the video:

I want to thank Santosh Lalonde (Bad Uncle) for providing the backing audio, "Planter For Life After Four Years," which was used in this video. If you want to download this song, right-click on this link:

Thanks also to Peter Krahn of Peppermill Records for making the "Hi & Ho, We Plant Trees" project happen, which is where I originally found out about the song. Apparently, Santosh used to be Krahn's planting partner. Small world.


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 2001 onward, at this link:
