I'm in the process of reorganizing this page. My objective is to get pics and stories up for all my treeplanting seasons. So far Chapleau 2004 and Chapleau 2005 are up and running (see links below). Hopefully I will be able to get some of the earlier ones up within the next couple of months. If you've shared a treeplanting season with me and want to see some better pictures up here, then send them to me: vanwijst at hotmail dot com.
Chapleau 2006 See the weekly updates on the Season in progress!
Chapleau 2005 This is the story of a little shanty town named Treejuana and my fifth season in the business...
Chapleau 2004 Tara Harris's Camp, first in the Bear Park and then out towards Sultan. This is the story of my fourth treeplanting season...
Nipigon 2002 Iron Lui's utopia before it all fell apart. Here's my take...
I've treeplanted in Chapleau for three years now and have been impressed with tales of the elusive albino moose up there, as well as been horrified by tales of hunters shooting it. But it turns out it's not an albino moose at all, but rather a subspecies of moose in a "natural but rare colour phase", according to the Toronto Star (July 23 2005, F8).
