Speaking at a forestry stakeholder meeting this week, Cokanacagi says the salvaging will include felled trees and those damaged but still standing.

A team from the company is planning the rehab works for their plantations.

Apart from salvaging damaged trees, the rehab works will also include propping up trees aged between one to three years and restocking young plantations completely damaged.
