Have you heard of Pay Plots? 🤔

These plots are 50m² areas, thrown with a 3.99m "plot cord," that our staff use to assure quality of contractor planting. They will throw ~3 plots per hectare. 📏

In these photos, our summer staff, Rayne, is throwing plots on an 80,000 understory planting in Grande Prairie area!
