Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

Most of the country will wake up in level 2 on Wednesday morning.
The key differences to the previous level 2 restrictions are limits on gatherings. Indoors, such as in hospitality settings or event venues, the maximum number of people allowed is now 50.
Outdoors, it is 100 – and records must be kept of attendees at both indoor and outdoor events.
Social distancing at indoor venues has also increased, from 1 metre previously, to 2 metres under the new alert level 2.

Ditching plans for a new town slogan misses the chance for Ashburton to improve its national image, which “is arguably not the best”, a district councillor says.
The district's ridiculed 'Whatever it Takes' slogan was considered for a review for “ongoing relevance” following suggestions put forward by local residents earlier this year.
In response, the Ashburton District Council unanimously agreed that the slogan needed to be discarded, the matter being picked up by national media as a result.
But cost and fear of further derision has seemingly scared most of the elected members off developing a replacement.
At its meeting held via Zoom on Wednesday, the council moved a recommendation to dispense with the use of slogans in its marketing efforts and instead “tell stories about our place, our people and our activities”.
Councillor Carolyn Cameron called the recommendation “negative thinking” and believed it would be a missed opportunity.
“I would be disappointed if we did not endeavour to improve our image nationally, which is arguably not the best,” she said.
“You cannot measure the value of a slogan, a slogan is about the people that live in the district, getting behind a brand and a belief and having pride in their community.”
