Forestry environmental resource established

Forestry environmental resource established

Friday 15 Mar 2013

The Eastland Wood Council is a grouping set up in 2001 of major plantation forestry, wood processing and distribution interests operating in the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island, in the Gisborne District.

With environmental issues being one of the major issues facing forestry companies with wood harvesting in the region on the rise – and steep terrain being common to the region.

To assist EWC members and the wider forestry industry, the Council employed a student over the summer break to pull together a resource of research, reports and information applicable to; sedimentation, woody debris, water quality, biodiversity, stream morphology and public perception.

The documents, over 250 of them, mostly post 1990, have now been posted onto the EWC website for use by the forestry industry. To access the resource, click here. For further information, please contact trevor@eastlandwood.co.nz
