- Forestry slash inundating beaches after rainfall is an all too common sight along the formerly pristine Te Tai Rawhiti coastline. Clean-up costs millions but then the next deluge washes it all back down again. Te Aitinga a Hauiti's Nikorima Thatcher is leading the charge against the continued pollution, kaitiaki Graeme Atkins is working to prevent the whenua, and researcher Tui Warmenhoven is devasted by the damage slash causes communities, infrastructure, land, and water quality. Foretry mininster Shane Jones says there is a need for stricter regulation for forestry companies, but NZ Forestry Owners' Association's Don Carson says there is no quick fix.

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
PUT IT ON SHANE KUPAPA JONES LAND
I agree.. that guy's a total dick.
😂
They deleted my real comment 😂 typical NZ censorship..
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.
@@leonpatrick5606 the mess isnt from the skid sites
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
A lot of hill country land in NZ shouldn’t have been subsidised and cleared in the first place.
DONT CLEAN IT BURNIT COME ON
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
❤
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
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.
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.
Free firewood for a business ?
Work with the Crown 😂😂😂
Ask king Charles to help.. hes great.
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.
