"Tree planting will make the rest of your life feel easier.”
Tree planting will be simultaneously the most rewarding and the most challenging adventure of your life. Through the profound friendships made in the planting community, the physical art of planting trees, and the moments of solitude, tree planting will push you to your greatest potential.
Tree planting is more than a job for the summer, it is an initiation! Find out what you're capable of, be a part of the most fun and hard working workforce in Canada, fund your schooling/travels and see parts of the country you wouldn't otherwise.

Our 2019 Season
This is the most exciting time in the last 20 years to come tree planting!
- All of our 28 million trees in 2019 are from long term clients who understand, care, and value what we do.
- They have offered higher prices so they can flow forward to you, the planters, and staff.
- Base prices are going up 20% from last year. That is a 2-3 cent increase on our base price from 2018. You guys work really, really hard and you deserve it.
- We have only accepted and maintained our best contracts for the 2019 season.
- All ground in BC will be priced at a minimum of 14 cents
- On prepped ground in Alberta the minimum is 12 cents. If it's 12 cents, it's going to be fast ground.
- Raw ground minimum price in Alberta will be 13 cents
- We are aiming to start planting May 10 and be finished by Late July
Summit has been in business since 1981 and we have planted over 560 million trees!
This is 37 times around the earth!

Our Values
Planting Trees brings incredible value to our lives. As tree planters we will continue to feel this throughout everything we do into the future. The experience of tree planting continues to grow and change us long after the last tree is planted.
We are part of a greater community that allows us to live a life that gives back to the world much more than we take.
"Tree-planting affects the very essence of who we are and who we become. It alters our lives. This Initiation is so profound that those who have gone through it are held in community through fiercely intense experiences. This site is a celebration of Tree-planting, Planters, and Summit Reforestation. It is a place where one can discover what Summit and Tree-planting are all about."
