Blown Away

From the morning of February 14 2023, through to the end of June 2024, New Zealand Forest Managers staff and contractors operated at up to five times our normal capacity in an effort to minimise financial losses for our forest owners following the devastating impact of Cyclone Gabrielle.

‘Blown Away’ is the story of that operation.

NZFM thought it was important to document the journey following Cyclone Gabrielle - it was a big one! It is also hoped that should others be in a similar situation in the future, they may benefit from the lessons that we learned.
