A friend of mine works for offshore purchasers of timber. They screw the price down to the point that their is no money to clean up the waste. A very sad issue that will destroy a great deal moving forward. I hope there is a solution.
Old news guys. Processes in place to prevent this from happening. Ideally the forest owners could burn off the slash. Btw not all is radiata pine. Plenty of willow and poplar in there
Why have they stopped slash burn offs? Carbon credits, maybe. I spent a few years in the forestry before the waratahs made their way into our workforce. Manual log maker's utilized most of the tree, but then along came the waratah and feller-buncher. And the slash increased by alot. And now I notice there is no burn offs like there used to be. The companies definitely don't care even though they will throw a representative out there to show face, nothing gets sorted.
Some big gaps in the reporting on this, Most of this slash is off Māori land, perhaps managed by outside agencies but under control of the land owners. The actual forestry workers are local Māori predominately. Has anyone actually checked what this "slash" is? in other areas like Gisbourne it was DNA checked and found to be predominately willow Macrocarpa Native and other farm species. Locals have allot of control and are involved in what happens in these forests and lands but whine that its some other faceless corporate, a bit pathetic really. Reporting is not investigative when it starts out to "prove" a narrative rather than actually investigate the real issues.
Yhe problem is that humans have demonized the most important critical to life gas named CO2. Because CO2 is demonized by the cult it is not allowed to burn the slash.
Thankyou for this report as it is creating more awareness Sure there is a lot of finger pointing and ugly foreshores.The figures do point to strong employment along with local businesses and local economy and we need that in Tairawhiti. A strong Govt initiative would be a tax per tree that leaves the area by boat or truck especially for clean up of beach projects eg mobile firewood setups that leave free wood for locals and like wood chips, re use the slash as ground carpets. Adern/Gayford got married there then did a runner 🤣OZ is calling...just say'n
If it’s wood harvesting those doing this must be held to account and required to clean up,other fallen timber is natures way of recycling waste,as to erosion I learn of this in the 50s,and we see to day of land being ruined! Trees must be planted and a ground cover applied,of course drainage etc,Māori must be careful there’s those will go for a quick dollar,watch out,if you legally own what you have you are entitled to protection under the law.
Most of this material is NOT slash. Go up stream and look at the slip areas….a natural process in the life of the forests. Observe properly without a anti forest bias then do articles of value.
same thing happens everywhere forestry happens. Forestry is a primary industry, govt will turn a blind eye despite the long term bill being much larger, change will not come
If only i had a truck and a chainsaw could use some of that for fire wood if its just rubbish... I'd suggest asking out of towners if they want some for next year we had a wood draught this year i didnt get to buy a 2nd lot of wood cause it was 4x the amount of the lot i got in May so yeah i couldn't afford it
The industry caused this the industry should pay and pay dearly once the industry starts losing money fixing this problem then the industry will change there practices
DONT CLEAN IT BURNIT COME ON
But what about the "CO2 is polution" cultist? 😂
PUT IT ON SHANE KUPAPA JONES LAND
I agree.. that guy's a total dick.
ming foon was told many times about the pine trees coming down the Waiapu river, but it was not taken serious until it hit Uawa

You are missing the point.
Not many chainsaw cut ends in that forestry slash
@@gerrardodonnell5084 Which is?
@@alanmends3618 true but forestry does have some responsibility my point is its not all someone else's fault.

Gee, if only we had an almost unlimited source of material which could be used to heat homes.
Can't burn salt timber in your fireplace

A lot of hill country land in NZ shouldn’t have been subsidised and cleared in the first place.

You would be paying some fines yourselves as a lot of it comes from Iwi owned and run Forests. What a joke of a report.
