Happy New Year to all!
I hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday season with family and friends- have a prosperous and healthy 2012!
I am very excited about our upcoming planting season. We have a full spring and summer plant lined up and expect over 62 planting days in 2012. All our contracts are more centralized meaning shorter drives to blocks and fewer camp moves. We are also increasing tree prices across the board with rates starting at 12.5 cents for our clean, flat, soft ground.
We are currently hiring and look to add good people to our close-knit community of planters. If you are interested to find out more about us, or our season, please e-mail me: peter@artisanreforestation.com
