"Operationally impossible": Forestry industry pushes back against 'impractical' clean-up order

Forestry industry voices say keeping 100% of slash and wood debris inside forest boundaries is operationally impossible.  

Gisborne District Council has obtained an enforcement order forcing two companies to properly manage the sediment risk.  

Samnic Forest Management is appealing the order and says it would probably go bankrupt if it went ahead.  

Eastland Wood Council Chairman Julian Kohn told Ryan Bridge they're trying to get a better deal.  

He says the industry is trying to find an environmental, social, and economic balance.
