Search and Rescue

With Nelson district one of the most popular shooting areas in New Zealand, it is vitally necessary that an efficient search and rescue organisation should flourish in the district. Nelson is fortunate in having such an organisation and keen and bush-trained personnel to go into the field at a moment's notice. These pics were taken at the annual meeting of the organisation.
