Getting fit to plant

The fitter you are, the more trees you can plant. Most planters slow down as the day progress. However, planters who complete a pre-season fitness program are able to sustain a high planting rate all day long. That means more productivity, more money and fewer injuries.

The following online resources can help you get fit to plant:

• Training strategies
• Training log
• Power eating for power planting
• How to eat to keep planting
• Tree planter safety quiz
• Safety quiz answers
