Landowner partnerships with Te Uru Rākau - NZ Forest Service
Friday 4 Oct 2024
Te Uru Rākau — New Zealand Forest Service are looking for
landowners to become research partners to help progress the field-based research components of each of the forestry science programmes.
Together, this work will help us to better understand how:
- carbon storage works in our native and exotic forests.
- to plant native trees more efficiently in a range of environments
for carbon reduction and biodiversity.
- purpose grown woody biomass forests can supply bioenergy demand.
- to harvest forests for woody biomass and include recovery of woody
residues from forestry activities.
If you are a landowner, how you can help will depend on the research
programme and the activities the programme supports. This will range
from land access for forest measurements, planting of natives to trial
different techniques for success, growing trial woody biomass forests,
and even harvesting some of your existing forest for bio energy. Some
site preparation and maintenance may be required.
Detailed information on the partnership opportunity to support each
individual research programmes are available in the Expression of Interest (EOI) forms, on the MPI
website.
If you have further questions and/or to return
your form, email: ForestryInsights@mpi.govt.nz
