	Description:		Nearly nine-thousand locals have signed a petition calling for a massive overhaul of forestry across Tairāwhiti. Beaches, farms, waterways, and homes have been covered in woody debris from ex-Tropical cyclone Hale this month. A boy died on Wednesday after falling from a log on Waikanae Beach and hitting his head. Petition organiser Manu Caddie says that most of the region is feeling great frustration. He says many local councillors agree that an inquiry is needed. Caddie says it would offer an opportunity for locals to have a say, to find out the root causes, and what can be done about it.
