Larry the Lumberjack – Character Insight
I created Larry the Lumberjack for my Canadian Trades/Professions Story Challenge. Lumberjacks are a very important part of Canada’s labour market. In Canada, we rely on lumberjacks to provide us with lumber for building our homes, schools and places of business.
I wanted Larry the Lumberjack to be the type of character that cares about his work environment and is also safety conscious. One wrong move for a lumberjack could cause some serious health risks.
Being a lumberjack is hard physical work. You would want to make sure you are in good physical health if you are considering getting into this type of work. You would also have to like working outdoors because that is where you would be spending the bulk of your time.
Larry the Lumberjack is very friendly and he loves nature. He tries to blend in with nature as much as possible instead of trying to destroy it. Lumberjacks do have a tendency to get blamed for ruining forests by cutting down too many trees and making a mess of the forest. However, for the most part, lumberjacks take care of the forest. They will only cut down trees that need to be cut. They will clean up after themselves and most importantly, they will plant new trees in place of the ones they have cut down.
Larry the Lumberjack loves working in the forest. He is one lumberjack that loves nature. He makes sure that he is only taking trees that are diseased or showing signs of damage. He also plants seedlings in place of the trees he takes out.
