Free forestry wood for those who need it

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm today

When Tasman District Council announced a free firewood giveaway last year - chaos ensued. 

Hundreds of people queued for wood, with many then turned away when it ran out. This year, they have come up with a new plan to make sure the wood goes to people who really need it.

Darryn Palmer from Tasman District Council talks through the project.
