Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For tree planters all across Canada, only one area truly inspires awe and apprehension: British Columbia's coastal planting industry. Whether it is the steep ground, the never-ending slash, or the incessant rains, planting on the coast is a challenge that only a few of Canada most experienced planters will ever decide to accept. Although it is impossible to truly capture the magnitude of the difficulty of many coastal blocks without having experienced them in person, this collection of photos is as close as you can get. This niche sector of the reforestation industry is the stomping ground of Canada's most experienced professional tree planters. The ground is relentless. The struggle is real.
Download or read book Rite Of Passage written by Jonathan Clark and published by DJ Bolivia Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tree Planting is often described as a Canadian "rite of passage" for youth in their early twenties. While that may be somewhat of a glorification, there's no debating the fact that more than ten thousand Canadians plant trees each year as a summer job, and well over a hundred thousand have done it at some point in their lives. This book is a photo odyssey that examines the industry from within, from the perspective of planters who are working in remote tent camps. Although the focus of the book is to share a visual representation of planting life and culture rather than one based on essays, a picture is worth a thousand words. Written by the administrator of the highly popular Replant.ca website, this book will show you why, even though most planters hate planting, many remember their summers in the bush as some of the most interesting times of their lives.

From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us.

In this mysterious true-to-life story, Aimi, Roci, Mousi, Sybil and Sycamore are a loose group of friends, aka The Bunch, who attend school together. The Bunch go to a 150-year old church camp, Mount Hermon, founded around the time of the first gold rush in 1849. The camp is located in a giant forest in the Santa Cruz mountains of California, just over the hill from Silicon Valley. In keeping with the principles of its founders, Bart, Prissie and their adopted son, Artie, the camp administrators have created a modern day refuge for children like the Bunch who live at a time when many people around them, including their parents, are chasing new gold nearby. Each member of the Bunch becomes seemingly inexplicably lost in the giant forest. They must each find themselves, then find one another before they can together again find their way home. Along the way they are baffled at why they receive help from new animal friend. Each member of the Bunch battles with and finds resolution to problems they face at home from overbearing or neglectful parents, sibling rivalry, prejudice, betrayal and displaced loyalty.

Only the reader knows. --- I, Aimi, stood motionless as I peered through the just-closed final curtain. A few moments ago, we put a wrap on the last performance of our unique take on Beauty & the Beast. We called it - The Rose and the Thorn. Welcome to Book 3 in the Growing Up Aimi Series. Historical fiction? Mystery? Coming of Age? Or all. The reader knows. I guess the thinking is, or was, that if our school can twist Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to our tastes, then Disney’s Beauty and the Beast would be fair game as well. Or, should I say, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve’s Beauty and the Beast. She wrote it, gee, like, almost 200 years ago. I won’t say her name, however, for fear I say it wrong and Violet gets offended. She’s like that and will know how to say it. Not just because she is from France, but can speak French. And she does love to point it out to me when I make a mistake. --- Book 1, The Giant Forest, Aimi was in the 5th grade. Book 2, The Heliuna Academy, Aimi was in the 6th grade. Book 3, The LoGlas Theater, Aimi is now in the 7th grade. No magic, no time-travel, no fantastical beasts. Just good clean story telling as we watch and grow along with Aimi Wilby.
