The Gisborne forestry industry wants to manage expectations when it comes to cleaning up slash.
One company is appealing the district council's order, which would force it to prevent all woody debris from leaving a forestry block.
Samnic Forest Management says it would likely go bankrupt if the order were to go ahead.
Forest Owners Association Chief Executive Elizabeth Heeg told Mike Hosking there must be a compromise.
She says the judiciary must understand what is and isn't feasible for the industry.
