Hi all,
Looking for some good advice in getting forestry/ground work in New Zealand starting around September if possible?
Not fussy about where I'm based as I've been before to play rugby and it's all good!
Currently work for a firewood firm at supervisor level of which I do all the felling myself so I'm very used to hard work. Looking into forwarding/harvester but training costs are astronomical in the UK!
Got my CS30,31,32,38, UA1 and emergency first aid. Will hopefully have UA2.1 & 5, CS39, pruning and chipper tickets by September (money permitting!)
Would it be best to sort a job first or just go out with a visa?
Any work/visa advice no matter how big or small would be really useful.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies, are Asplundh and Treescape mainly arborist companies or abit of forestry as well as I'd still class myself as a groundie until my climbing confidence grows.
I had a PM about this post warning forestry in NZ is full of "Maori and hard drug users, so be careful" which I though very unfair!
Does anyone have any advice on costs of visa and rent/locations etc.
Thanks again
