This video tells the story of how New Zealand Forest Managers (NZFM) in Turangi,
New Zealand dealt with a 3.4million + ton wind blow event in the central north
island. In the video everything from before the cyclone in Feb 2023, to the
night of and right up to December 2023 has been covered.
Interviews detail how NZFM handled the extra crews, marketed the wood, how
crews logged the wood, the struggles they had in logging and more. NZFM were
approached to make this video to remember what they did for years to come. In
this region most of us hear stories of cyclone Bola from guys that worked
through it but not many would have seen any footage of the devastation.
ITPV wanted to make sure that as an industry we could look back and show future
generations how it was done. ITPV thanks NZFM and everyone who helped with
footage, interviews and information. They were especially happy to have Binky
Ellis, Les Owens and Dave Flight join them all together for an interview and
were saddened to hear of Dave's passing just recently and wish that he got to
see
it for himself. RIP Dave Thanks for coming in and being a part of this.
