Staying safe at Maymorn plantation forest during harvesting

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

People ignoring forestry warning signs and standing underneath industrial log hauler cables are taking risks they could be seriously hurt.

We’ve had people enter Maymorn plantation forest during intensive harvesting operations despite the extensive signs and warnings. While anyone can make mistakes, this behaviour is deliberate and reckless.

A 48ha block of mature trees around Maymorn is being harvested and this will continue through to Christmas. GWRC and PF Olsen have done everything we can to ensure visitor safety and part-access to the forest during the harvesting. All the information is on our website – please use it to plan your trip. If you are visiting please read and heed the signs for your own safety.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
