Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay catches up with Don Carson, the PR man for the NZ Forest Owners Association, who has had a very busy job lately.

On with the show:

Don Carson:

We debate forestry slash, planting native trees, future-proofing our roading and bridge infrastructure and water reform with a man who’s certainly earning his keep these days - the PR man for the NZ Forest Owners Association.

Nadine Tunley:
