Woodlot harvesting videos now on-line

Friday 16 Apr 2021

A third of New Zealand’s plantation forest estate is in the hands of woodlot owners. Harvesting can be a stressful time for some woodlot owners with little knowledge and experience of this phase of the woodlot management cycle. The 15-video series, “How to market and harvest your woodlot for profit”, attempts to provide woodlot owners with sufficient information to help them successfully achieve their woodlot harvesting goals.

The videos on the Forest Growers Research site cover such topics as; how to determine what’s in your woodlot, how to go about selling what you’ve got, safety requirements, how to best manage the environment, harvesting and transportation systems suitable for woodlots, and things you can do to maximise your profitability. The series concludes with two case studies of woodlot harvesting, and a description of a new tool to determine expected net revenues and their sensitivity to key woodlot variables.
