Proposed forestry rules in Otago an overreactionFriday 12 Apr 2024
The Association's President, Neil Cullen, labelled the rules as "quite draconian," highlighting that farmers stand to lose a significant amount of forestry production land. Cullen argued that there's no evidence of forestry causing issues to waterways in Otago, and that the regulations in the region shouldn't be tougher. Cullen also expressed concern that over-regulating forestry could make it less appealing to farmers who are just considering it, potentially leading them to question its benefits. He also added that with little other activity in forestry blocks, it could be beneficial for water quality, with harvesting crews ensuring no sediment enters waterways.
