Big Chainsaw Action

Thanks to everyone, who dusted off their old tree felling equipment, oiled up the chains and came out today to help with the cleanup after the storm.

About 40 volunteers cut away over 30 trees and overhanging branches across various tracks in Wairakei today. Touris Trap, Bumble Bee, Ferret, Kevs Track and Redwoods were amongst the tracks were most of those wooden hurdles were cleared.

Over the next couple of weeks the regular track crew will be looking at all the ather tracks and do what they can to open them up. There might be another Working Bee next weekend.

The Rotary Track remains closed due to the sheer amont of large trees on it and the fact Paddy's Bridge is broken. Some Photos from today:
