Experienced tree felling
We are looking for trees to fell in the Nelson Tasman Bay area. The purpose is to complete a task and also be assessed by an accredited forestry instructor. Preferably rural with limited nearby hazards, forestry blocks are ok. A minimum of 10 - 20 trees and over 200mm in diameter. To be completed by the 20th of February. Trees on slopes and awkward shapes are ok. Safety and liabilities will be part of the process. Costs would be very reasonable and negotiable. Any processing or transporting of logs can be arranged. If you know of any contacts, offers within the next week or two would be great to allow time for viewing and preparation. Contact Martin 027 371 4816

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
