Marlborough recognised at TOS Forestry Awards

Accolades flowed recently for M&R Forestland Management, managers of Marlborough’s Council-owned forests, at the Top of the South Forestry Awards in Nelson.

Gerald Hope, chairman of the ratepayer-owned Marlborough Regional Forestry asset, attended the ceremony for Council. “It gave me tremendous pleasure to attend and celebrate the success of our women in forestry who deservedly brought home awards. It was a very successful night for our local forest management company,” he said.

M&R Forestland Management took home two awards – a trophy for ‘Outstanding Environmental Management’ going to Anna Baty (pictured left) and a ‘Woman in Forestry’ certificate to Siobhan Allen (pictured right).

The Top of the South Forestry Awards showcase the innovation and highly skilled workforce within the forestry industry in the Tasman and Marlborough districts.
