Until now ire has not been a 24 25 26 27 major issue in Gisborne, as grazed pasture bufers most forests. With more forestry, this 28 29 30 risk will increase. 31 32 33 34 35 Over a whole cycle, forestry creates employment in three main bursts: irst at 36 37 planting, then at pruning and thinning, after which there is a long gap till harvest when 38 39 40 41 about half of all employment occurs. he stop-start nature of forestry means workers are unable to live close to their work; 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 most choose to live in Gisborne and commute. Stats NZ igures for Wairoa district show only three forestry employees per 1000ha there. he numbers would be similar for other small 54 55 56 57 settlements such as Tokomaru Bay. In contrast under sheep and beef farming, 58 59 while a small number of workers live in towns, working in processing plants or 60 61 62 contracting, most live on the farm where 63 64 they work or in local communities. his maintains rural communities and schools. 65 66 67 68 We should do everything we can to make the forestry sector we have more 69 70 71 resilient, by smoothing out its planting and harvesting cycles and promoting more on- 72 73 74 75 shore processing. But we should be wary of committing more land to an industry that 76 77 78 creates less employment than the sheep and 79 80 81 beef sector. his is an issue everyone in the East Coast community needs to understand and take action on. ■ Dave Read owns and farms Waiau 82 83 84 Station, a 1200ha hill-country farm 12km inland from Wairoa.
