As a Forest Nursery Labourer at Mountain View Growers Inc., your main responsibility will be to care for young trees (primarily coniferous species) in a nursery environment. This includes everything from planting and moving trees to cleaning up the greenhouse and work areas.

Forest nursery work isn’t your typical 9-to-5 desk job. You’ll be outside in the fresh air, working with your hands in an environment that can be wet, hot, or even chilly depending on the day. It’s physical work, but for many, that’s part of the appeal.

Here’s What to Expect:

• Full-time seasonal work (50–60 hours per week)
• Overtime may be required during peak periods
• Fast-paced environment with repetitive tasks

This role pays $16.75 per hour, with weekly hours ranging from 50 to 60 depending on workload and weather. The job is seasonal, and successful candidates are expected to start as soon as possible.
