Services

Whether you’re planting bare land, growing a forest or preparing to harvest, we manage each stage on your behalf and keep you informed along the way.

Where is your forest at?

Start with where your forest is in its lifecycle

You have land that could be planted.

Whether it’s bare land, marginal farmland or a block you’ve just harvested, we assess the site, advise on species and regime, and look after planting. If carbon is part of the plan, we’ll show you how it fits.

Your trees are in the ground.

We manage the forest through to maturity, from silviculture and protection to registering eligible forest land in the ETS so it can earn carbon credits as it grows.

Your forest is nearing maturity.

We measure and value the crop, plan roading and consents, and set out your options for selling, from a managed harvest at market prices to a guaranteed price agreed up front.

Your harvest is complete.

We reconcile every load so you can see what was sold and for how much, then help you decide what comes next: replanting, a carbon forest or another use for the land.
