Jeremy Young works as a tree planter in northern Ontario. He was born in Canada but also has French citizenship. He is currently a 4th year environmental and urban sustainability student at Ryerson University in Toronto. Jeremy is going into his third season in Ontario. We talk about his planting career, how he prepares for the season, injury prevention and specifically why he chose and continues to choose planting in Ontario over going out west. We also touch on what its like to be a slower starter at planting, and what its like when you don't make a ton of money your first season. A great episode for rookies and newer planters, as well as anyone interested in getting into planting! Also great for any planter who's never planted in Ontario and is curious to hear more about what its like. Regardless of differing opinions, Ontario is an integral part of the tree planting industry here in Canada, and where many planters have gotten their start. This podcast sheds light on some of the reasons people stay, and how planting Ontario ground can benefit you as a planter. Po-taaaay-to, po-taaaa-to!
