Is this a fair thing to post? I am looking for a part-time tree farm worker for Spring, Summer & Fall '22. I pay fair wages with benefits and can add to work with landscaping for several neighbors, making the job full time if a student wanted that over the summer. Mostly outdoor cut/split/stack, but lots of related work and experience. I am willing to train, have my MFO and decades of experience. Time to fish or swim at our lakeshore included :)
