Next Gen is a Tree Planting company operated by a group of committed, passionate people. We are a family run business, but to stop there would miss a huge part of the picture. Next Gen’s character, strength and quality comes from our supervisors, cooks, planters and field staff.
These people, together, make up Next Generation Reforestation.
​
We work mainly out of Bush Camps in Northern Alberta and BC.
There are 4 main camps. Generally we run about 40-45 planter camps.
​
Our main work is Tree Planting, but also offer other Silviculture and Forest Tech Services.
A Family run, PEOPLE COMPANY
Our wages are competitive, but that is not what defines us. We are a company guided by collaboration with supervisors, staff and planters. The owners have put a personal touch on operations for over 40 years.
