Women Who Plant: Trails, Trees & Discovery with Sam Galvin
Description
From Canada's ski slopes to remote tree planting camps, Sam Galvin has built a life around adventure, seasonal work, and the outdoors. In this episode of Women Who, we trace her journey from arriving in Canada to teaching skiing and snowboarding, and then taking on one of the most niche jobs in the country: tree planting.
Sam pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like in the bush; from planting thousands of trees a day to bonding with crew mates, navigating unpredictable plots, and even hitching helicopter rides to work sites. She shares the highs, the challenges, and the wildlife encounters that make the job unforgettable, along with the environmental impact and personal lessons she’s learned along the way.
Whether you’re curious about tree planting, drawn to life off the beaten path, or just love a good story about resilience and exploration, this episode will leave you seeing seasonal work in a whole new way!
