New Zealand Journal of Forestry Volume 61 Number 4, February 2017
New Zealand's forest plantations provide a wide range of ecosystem services and non-timber benefits in addition to a financial return on investment from timber production. Most of these services are provided freely. The February issue has seven papers on the subject, including two from Scion that attempt to quantify the full value provided to society by describing the analytic methods used and by contrasting dairy and forestry on the same block of land. These environmental and social values can be greater than the financial return.

Submission on Fire and Emergency NZ Regulations
The funding model for Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ) is overly complicated for fire services and the model’s application is not fully reflective of the services being provided by FENZ. Nonfire incidents now account for a large and growing part of fire service activities in New Zealand.
