Hey Crew of 2011,

What a great pleasure this summer turned out to be. I could not of dreamed it going that well. To really comprehend what we just accomplished would impress anyone from any walk of life.
It is fabulous to be a part of something awesome and I hope you all feel totally satisfied and appreciated. I absolutely swear to everyone that was one of the very best performances WW has every done. The paycheques seemed higher but also the team or family vibe showed up and seemed to take everyone in. That’s pretty vibrant, and way too high of an expectation to every expect. It’s very pure and excellent; I am personally excited and inspired by that feeling and sense of accomplishment.

Next season is a world away but there is a plan.

Trying to get a bigger contract adding one more crew of 6.
42 planters, 7 crews and 11 million trees. Some positives to look forward to are more staff:

We had 6 incredible crewbosses this season. All heart and full throttle learning curve. We are saying good bye to Paul Dwyer; thanks for everything Paul and all the best in the real world.
I absolutely know any of the crew bosses could step up to supervise the crewbosses. Dallas has been chosen for that job.
Wildwoods is looking for two new crewbosses for 2012.

Vinny highballed the camp and is retiring. Very cool!
Wildwoods is looking for 8-10 new planters for 2012.

If you have friends /potential hires e-mail me your comments about this person and have them e-mail wildwoods@telus.net
Otherwise, I expect most everyone will return next season.

We will be work on the following WW improvements this winter.

"Real Time" data/quality collection software
Direct deposit
More two way radios
Cool website improvements
A couple small quads for crewbosses
An excursion per crew (over time)
3rd marshmaster vehicle and trailer
One more cargo trailer for camp or gear
Improved camp internet etc.
Party barn art
Water alive system
Marshmaster back hoe (if snow caches warrant)

Great News! We absolutely did great on our safety audit.
We passed with 83% and the comment “great job”.
This info is typed up in a formal letter and mailed to LaCrete and Tolko. We look good!

We meet Tolko mid October to start talks for next season.

Cheers and all the best this winter~ walk tall!
