Our Mission

Cameron is focused on stakeholder engagement, harvest operations and the Emissions Trading Scheme. Surrounded by family in the forest industry, he realised at a young age he had pine sap in his veins. His interest in forestry has since taken him overseas, presenting at international conferences. Cameron holds a Masters and Bachelors of Forestry Science as well as a New Zealand Certificate in Business. Cameron is passionate about helping forest owners get the best possible return on their investments. He is dedicated to staying up-to-date on the latest industry trends and technologies, constantly seeking out new ways to optimise the harvest process, increase harvesting efficiency and maintaining a sound understanding of the NZ Emissions Trading Scheme.

Jon is focused on harvest operations, woodflow management, stakeholder engagement and plays a key role in landowner engagement. Jon grew up on a sheep and beef farm in the King Country. After developing an appreciation for the land he broadened his horizons by studying Marketing at Otago University. Jon went on to establish and operate tourism and retail businesses but the passion for the primary sector was still apparent which led him to start his own forest harvesting business where he gained invaluable hands-on experience. Jon is passionate about working with New Zealand landowners to help them best utilise their land assets through a strategic forestry approach that considers both harvesting and carbon sequestration. Like the rest of the team Jonny enjoys getting out on the land or in the water whenever an opportunity arises.

Zak focusses on business operations, drawing on over ten years of experience in leadership roles. As someone who enjoys time in nature, and with one eye on the future, Zak is committed to ensuring ForestryCo provides industry leading services that yield the best outcomes for landowners and the environment. Zak is excited by the scope of opportunity and potential for innovation in the forestry industry as well as being able to form long-term partnerships with ForestryCo’s clients.

Rob plays an important role in ForestryCo’s planning and operations where he covers forest establishment, silviculture and harvesting. Being born and bred in the Bay of Plenty, Rob discovered he had a passion for rural New Zealand and forestry. This led him to Christchurch to study a Bachelor of Forestry Science at the University of Canterbury. Rob’s passion for farm forestry ensures he is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for ForestryCo’s clients. In his spare time Rob loves getting out on the water fishing and heading back home to spend time with family.

Callum is actively involved in ForestryCo's harvest operations, bringing a hands-on approach to his work. His passion for nature led him to complete a Bachelor's degree in Forestry Science. Originally from Wellington, he has since relocated to Northland, where he enjoys working across a variety of harvest environments and with different contractors. Callum is fond of his new home in Northland, where nature is at his doorstep. After spending time in the bush overseeing forestry operations, he enjoys getting out in the ocean whenever possible.

Tania keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes by managing accounts and overseeing business administration. Tania took an early interest in business which resulted in her founding and operating a retail store alongside her partner.

Being born and raised in the far north she understands the importance of forestry to New Zealand and welcomes the opportunity to be a steward in the years to come.
