Missing Motueka tramper Nathan Green: New photos show man with large graze on his face and clothing covered in soil

Photos of a Tasman man missing for more than 10 days show him with a large graze on his face and clothing covered in soil, raising fresh concerns for his welfare.

Nathan Green, 52, left his home in Brooklyn, on the outskirts of Motueka, about 3pm on Monday, April 13, carrying a backpack.

He did not return.

Green was last seen the following day in the Herring Stream Rd area, where he spoke with a member of the public and said he intended to head towards Motueka.

Police said he then walked through the forest towards Rocky River Rd and had not been seen since.

Footage from Tuesday, April 14, shows Green wearing grey track pants with large holes down the front of the legs and a grey zip-up hooded top.

He is no longer carrying the backpack seen earlier, and his clothing appears damp and covered in dirt.

A graze can be seen on his face.
