Abstract: The focus of this section is plantation forest investment in radiata pine with tending regimes directed at the production of clearwood and sawlogs. Radiata pine clearwood regimes have been the predominant type of forestry over the past 30 years where outside investment opportunities have been marketed and are readily available. In 1999 the New Zealand Institute of Forestry (NZIF) produced a four page "Forestry Investment Information Standard" (FIIS) as guidance to NZIF Registered Forestry Consultants, NZIF Registered Members, NZIF members, forestry investment promoters and for members of the general public contemplating investment in forestry. The FIIS is part of the NZIF Professional Handbook (1999) and is recommended additional reading for any reader contemplating investment in forestry.
