COMRADERIE Tree planting is no walk in the park. The truth is that it is the hardest work that most have ever done or will do in a lifetime. Surprisingly the work is harder mentally than physically. Those strong individuals that make it to the end of the season and come back year after year hurtle a lot of obstacles along the way. Sometimes they rely on their inner strength and determination, but more often they rely on each other. People who would never become friends or even meet each other in most circumstances form the closest of bonds tree planting. You see everyone at their best and their worst and appreciate them for who they are. One season of tree planting can effect an individuals respect for other people like no other situation. Some people come from school, some come from travel and some are just in the need of work, but all leave richer for the experience.
