Manual itinerant work to hand plant tree seedlings and perform pre-commercial thinning to reforest and maintain timberlands. Plant bare-root or containerized trees using a shovel, hoe dad, dibble bar, or hoe. Transport trees in a tree bag. Select optimum planting location to meet spacing, soil, and shade requirements. Dig holes at pre-determined intervals and insert seedling. Tamp soil around plant with foot and planting tool. Use a chainsaw, brush blade, or other hand-held equipment to remove excess trees and other vegetation. Determine which immature trees to leave for accelerated growth, depending on spacing, species, size, freedom from disease or other defect, and possible damage to remaining trees. Cut brush and other vegetation. Use a backpack sprayer or other hand held tools to spray or inject herbicides to reduce competing vegetation. Mark boundary lines. Workers who apply for and obtain, or currently hold a FLC or FLCE certificate of registration with driving authorized by the USDOL Wage and Hour Division during the employment period may transport workers, count and check, and may be offered additional work hours. These jobs involve propagating, protecting, and managing forest tracts. Workers who possess a Farm Labor Contractor Employee Certificate and operate an inspected company vehicle may transport crew members from their housing location to the initial worksite and between worksites during the workday, as necessary, under manager supervision. Transportation duties are incidental to the primary forestry work being performed. “Count and check” refers to verifying crew attendance by counting workers before departure, upon arrival at the worksite, and as needed throughout the workday. Workers who hold a valid FLCE Certificate may be offered additional hours associated with transporting crew from their housing location to the initial worksite before the start of the workday, under manager supervision. These duties are limited to authorized transportation activities and any related attendance verification necessary to ensure all workers arrive safely and are accounted for prior to commencing forestry operations. Employer may pay piece rates of $0.03 per tree planted correctly, $35.00 - $60.00 per acre thinned correctly and, $50.00 per mile to mark boundary lines; but not less than the highest prevailing wage in the area of intended employment, whichever is higher.
