OneForest / IFS Growth

With recent heavy rainfall events causing carnage around the top of the South Island, IFS Growth had been busy getting stuck into some of the recovery missions around the place.

Our Cable Bay operation saw the Nelson crew working closely with the community so when this heavy rainfall event was occurring they were of high priority to ensure everyone was safe and had a home to come back to.

In the last significant rainfall event Cable Bay wasn’t accessible for some time, so it unfortunately wasn’t unfamiliar to have significant slips causing damage to the roading infrastructure.

Due to our Cable Bay Forest harvest operation being underway, the machinery and skillset were on hand to get access reinstated for those who had been significantly effected by the rainfall event.

See some photos taken on Thursday 18th August when the road recovery mission was in motion. Credit goes to all those who played a big part in reinstating access and helping those who were in need. Great to be part of community that bands together in times of hardship and uncertainty.

Special mention goes out to Berkett Contracting who were pivotal in reinstating vehicle access to the Cable Bay Community.
