NZIF Webinar: Forest Management Controls in the Pacific North West and their relevance to New Zealand
Presenter: Richard Cook - Head of Forest Summit Forests
Following Cyclone Gabrielle and its devastating impact on the East Coast of the North Island, tighter controls on forestry, many based on restrictions in place in the Pacific North West (PNW), have been proposed.
In response, Richard Cook, Head of Forests at Summit Forests, led a company study tour to the PNW in late 2023 covering British Columbia, Washington and Northern California, to gain an understanding of the conditions there, the planning controls in place and the appropriateness of those controls in the New Zealand context.
Richard will present a well illustrated and informative talk on the study tour addressing the forestry situation in the PNW, the nature of the planning restrictions, their impact and their relevance in New Zealand. The feedback from this visit will be of value to NZ foresters in responding to calls for greater controls on forestry by government and local authorities.
