Abstract: On the basis of past experience and experimental work, radiata pine cutovers at Kaingaroa Forest are divided into five site classes which require distinct re-establishment procedures to ensure effective and rapid re-stocking. These site types are defined, and the re-stocking procedures applied to each are described. In an environment subjected to frequent staff changes, the value of such a written system is noted, but it must remain flexible and capable of change in the light of new knowledge and changing conditions.
