What is a tree planting cook?

Tree Planting Cooks are specialized cooks who prepare meals for crews working on tree planting projects, often in remote or outdoor locations. They are responsible for planning menus, purchasing and transporting food supplies, and cooking nutritious meals for large groups, typically breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These cooks work long hours and must adapt to challenging conditions, such as limited kitchen facilities and unpredictable weather. Their role is crucial in supporting the health and morale of tree planters during the planting season.
