This is the personal blog for Jonathan (Scooter) Clark. If you're interested in learning about Replant.ca Environmental, a company that I run which plants trees in parks and builds community forests, the link is in the right sidebar. If you happen to like techno music, visit the DJ Bolivia link in the sidebar. If trees and block-rockin' beats are not your thing, may I suggest knitting or crochet.
I've just recently released another coffee-table style photo book, featuring around 230 pages of full-colour photos of tree planting. The photos are intended to convey, in mostly visual terms, what may be experienced while planting in British Columbia's rugged coastal region. The book is priced at $39.95 for the print edition, and only $3.99 for the digital editions.
The photos were taken
on various coastal projects, predominantly on the north end of Vancouver
Island. The best thing is that if you follow the Replant.ca website or
Instagram account regularly, these photos will still be new to you.
Almost every one of the photos in the book is being shown to the public
for the first time. If you've planted elsewhere in
Canada, this book should be an eye-opener about the specific challenges
involved with coastal planting.
There are two print editions of this book available (hardcover and softcover). There are also various digital editions available at very attractive pricing. Here's a link to the print editions on Amazon's Canadian website:
(In Google Books, you may have to change the setting from
"Flowing Text" to "Original Pages" on some devices in order for the content to display correctly).
For those who are on a tight budget, and for those who prefer looking at
black & white photos, there's a greyscale version of this book
available. It is priced very affordably at $14.95 Cdn, and it has all the
same photos as the other versions (but in black & white).
Incidentally, I have a second completely separate photo book specifically devoted to Interior tree planting. The title of that book is Rite Of Passage and it focuses on traditional seasonal planting jobs based out of remote tent camps. Also, don't confuse either of my photo books with Step By Step: A Tree Planter's Handbook, which is used throughout Canada as a training and reference manual for new tree planters. There are videos at the bottom of this post to showcase these other two books.

I've just recently released a coffee-table style photo book, featuring around 200 pages of full-colour photos of tree planting. The photos are intended to convey, in mostly visual terms, what is entailed in a summer season of tree planting based out of a remote tent camp. The print edition is $38.95 and the digital editions are only $3.99.
If you've never planted before, this publication will give you a good visual understanding of what is involved with a job planting trees. If you've struggled to figure out how to show your parents or family exactly what it is that you do, this would be an ideal way for them to learn, with both photos and short explanations.
The book shows photos of several dozen of the planters that I've been lucky enough to work with over the past two years. I also have a lot of photos of the blocks, the camps, and the equipment that we use. All the photos were taken in the Interior of western Canada.

Also, don't confuse either of my photo books with Step By Step: A Tree Planter's Handbook, which is yet another book that is used throughout Canada as a training and reference manual for new tree planters. There are videos to describe each of those separate books at the bottom of this post.
