“Scott and Stewart Forestry Consultants Ltd. has done silviculture and harvesting work for our company over the last 30 years. They recently harvested over 2000 tons of wood of which we were very pleased with their professional work. We continue to have them do forestry work on our properties. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any silviculture or harvesting job.”
We carry out various planting operations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. For landowners, farmers, government organizations, and industry.
Scott and Stewart had planted over 150 million seedlings since 1985 when our company first began planting trees in Nova Scotia and later in New Brunswick. Reforesting about 90,000 ha or 168,000 football fields!
Planting is used to fully stock a site with seedlings when natural regeneration to desired species or stocking of trees is insufficient. Planting is also used for afforestation (reclaiming forests) that have been lost over time to agricultural practices or urban development.
Most commonly planting is used for the intensive forest management model. This treatment uses various softwood species to mimic the regeneration process of the overstory that was removed.
We also offer Acadian forest restoration plantations with numerous species being selected based on the surrounding ecology and owners’ requests, we have a wide variety of Acadian forest species available. This treatment is typically funded by the landowner.
The Spring planting season generally runs from late April to July and we also have a Fall Planting season that runs for about 6 weeks starting in early September.
Tree planting is an ideal seasonal job for university students and any others who enjoy working outdoors and the reward of earning money based on their individual efforts while also contributing to the team’s goals.
If you are interested in tree planting we hire between 80-100 planters each season and applications for the new season start to come in late February and are accepted all season.
