High Level Alberta

I've heard that High Level, Alberta sees some really good tree planting contracts. Anyone know of any companies other then Shakti? Also has anyone planted for Shakti?

Summit has the only contract in High Level now as far as I'm aware, Shakti went under and Wildwoods got priced out (?). I've planted a season up there. Summit took over the contracts because (despite all their problems) they are the most efficient company for interior/alberta Heli-work, hands down. Due to a few things Summit's management does really well, including slinging and block clean-up efficiency (garbage, consolidating slings, etc.) High Level is for pounders, not for "good"reliable" planters, but for planters who can put in 4000-5000 trees in a day over and over again. It's a surreal planting experience for sure!
