photographer Rita Leistner. Through large-scale, painterly portraits captured in real-time, Leistner documents the gruelling and heroic labour of professional tree planters in British Columbia. Her work explores themes of human endurance, environmental stewardship, and Canada\u2019s evolving relationship with its forests.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Between 2016 and 2019, Leistner embedded herself off-grid with planting crews, living for months at a time in remote camps. Immersed in the physically demanding world of seasonal tree planting, she documented workers as they planted thousands of saplings each day across the rugged, clear-cut terrain. Her photographs reveal both the intensity of the labour and the resilience of the planters, transforming them into luminous, almost mythic figures.<\/p>\n<p>Using dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions, Leistner elevates scenes of physical toil into compelling visual tributes\u2014portraits that highlight the planters\u2019 deep, often spiritual connection to the land. Having planted more than half a million trees herself, Leistner brings a rare, firsthand understanding and deep reverence to her subject.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Tree Planters<\/em> stands as a tribute to the generations of Canadians who have reshaped the nation\u2019s geography and contributed to its cultural identity\u2014one tree at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
