It’s good to be back!
THAT’S THE GENERAL RESPONSE WE GET from folk in our industry now that COVID Level 2 has allowed the recommencement of operations.
Yes, we have to acknowledge the lockdown has impacted some in our industry more than others, however we get a real sense of the positive with people happy to be back in the forest doing what they do best.
By the time you read this, our Top Spot assessors will have also been out catching up with crews and reinforcing the positive behaviours that make people in our industry stand out from others.
What is also really pleasing is the positive response we have received about returning to sites. Makes our folk realise the value that comes from contact, positive reinforcement and good old friendly competition!
To the folk down the hill planting, pruning, waste thinning, breaking out and/or tree felling – remember the time off in lockdown will have had a potentially significant impact on your fitness, both physically and mentally and your body clock. Your professionalism will need to kick in to ensure you plan and manage your way back into work.
On top of this, we have the move from warm, dry weather to the inevitable wet, cold weather of winter.
So, we all need to be on top of our game! In the meantime, enjoy being back in one of the industries that has and will continue to contribute significantly to the economy and well-being of New Zealand.
We look forward to catching up with you and contributing to recognising people working at their best.
Sponsors – they don’t have to do this but they choose to!
Awesome companies, awesome people and awesome support!
They back you and your workmates to succeed as professionals, so why wouldn’t you support them?
They believe in what we do and what you do. So, a big ongoing thank you to our Strategic
Partners – STIHL and NZ Logger and sponsor SWAZI.
The best way to keep our industry working is to get out and support those businesses that support New Zealand.
