There is a new hydro scheme planned on the Gairezi river and they have just cut the transect for the route of the pylons.
Being Nyanga this includes cutting down two of the three invasive tree species – Pine and Wattle (the third is Eucalyptus).
Here we are skidding logs onto the trailer:
Skidding logs on logs
With a log ramp onto the trailer
Time to roll up hill
Nearly there
Or if lighter they get carried
and a long one
We have a lesson in knot tying
Well loaded up
Loaded front and back
As its all firewood for us to burn stones with we take it all – large and small
