PAGE 5 NEW ZEALAND’S GENEROSITY …in the Artist and surfer Sacha Nunn hopes his spherical hanging sculpture made of branches collected from Waikanae Beach spotlight will raise awareness of the negative impact the logging industry is having on Gisborne beaches. Slash caused by forestry is dangerous to swimmers and surfers, he says. Sacha has suffered the frustration of surfboards being broken by forestry FEATURE debris in the sea and he knows of others who have been hit and hurt by wood in waves. Sacha spent about 26 hours creating the sculpture using branches he found on the beach, which he wove into a large sphere. He then used ropes and pulleys to INSIDE TODAY suspend it in the tree on the beachfront at Waikanae. This morning he served banana pancakes to his girlfriend in the sphere — which he has named “the Moon” — to celebrate her birthday. He is hoping to go one step further tonight by lighting it up with fairy lights as a romantic gesture.

Gisborne District Council Journeys capital manager Darren Cox said the structure of the wharf had been impacted by several factors recently — high sea swells, forestry slash and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in June. “The barrier was erected to keep people off this particular section of the wharf, as it has been discovered that the pile beneath it has gone,” said Mr Cox. “We’ve also made temporary repairs to some sections of the hand rail. Engineers have inspected the wharf to assess the damage and the council will soon receive a detailed report outlining the next steps,” Mr Cox said.
