    Firewood supplies would have completely dried up in Canterbury next week, if timber mills hadn't been allowed to increase essential production

    Firewood supplies would have completely dried up in Canterbury next week, if timber mills hadn't been allowed to increase essential production


    Forestry Minister Shane Jones says a phased increase will start in some wood processing this week, after a stocktake revealed firewood and other products were due to be exhausted by Wednesday.

    He's allowed mills to truck in trees already felled for critical processing, but harvesting remains prohibited.
