Harvest Planning & Road Construction

Harvest planning and the resulting road and landing design and construction is a very important part of the harvesting process. Well-planned and well-constructed forest roads are essential to maximising returns to forest owners.

Harvest Management

A successful forest harvest must generate economic returns while managing risk and ensuring compliance, all while working with the expectations of the owner. Forest Management has the tools, experience, and skills to optimise the most important phase of forest ownership – generating the best possible financial return from the crop.

Operational management of the harvesting operations incorporates a strong focus on Health and Safety, environmental planning, and the accurate flow of information. Forest Management has the skills, technology, and systems to manage the harvest and generate the best returns while mitigating risk for growers.

In all of our operations, we act in a highly transparent manner, ensuring your harvesting results are being reported accurately and that regular status updates are received. 

Log Marketing

Forest Management undertakes log sales to both domestic and international customers on an ongoing basis. Our market exposure gives us the ability to achieve maximum returns for forest owners.

Strong export links

We can also provide various price mechanisms to lock in prices for longer timeframes.

Domestic ties

A mix of export and domestic markets helps to optimise value for the crop. We have excellent relationships with domestic processors throughout our New Zealand regions to achieve the best market balance for forest owners.
