Logs being loaded onto a truck (c. 1955)

Date1955DescriptionBlack and white photograph of logs being loaded onto a trailer. Alison Brown writes; After six months” training at Conical, Jim was moved to Dusky Forest, another in the Pomahaka group. Here he was assigned for the winter planting season to a gang working at the higher altitudes where the hillsides were dense with speargrass and often totally under snow. From there he joined the horse thinning gang, this time working on much steeper slopes with heavier Corsican pine logs, the oldest stands of which were planted before 1914. These logs were trucked to a sawmill adjacent to the forest.' Horse logging in New Zealand plantation forestry by Alison Brown was an entry in the 2012 Memoir and Local History Competition.
