Forest Partners seeks to be a distinctive and ethical operator in the New Zealand forestry market. The team have established reputations across the rural sector for their integrity and commitment to farmers and rural communities.

Forest Partners believes that on the right land, responsible rotation forestry can be complementary to farming operations. On the steeper, more economically marginal back country within farming units, rotation forestry for both timber and carbon credits can provide significant, reliable, intergenerational income streams to support farming families.

Forest Partners is committed to support all its operations with high-quality, professional forest and pest management. The team have built a track record of going above and beyond to keep productive land in farming for future generations and have built a track record of declining to plant land more suitable to remaining in pasture. Where Forest Partners purchases land that contains areas more suited to pastoral farming, we seek solutions to ensure it is able to be farmed on an ongoing basis.

Forest Partners is seeking joint venture partnerships with landowners, as well as purchase opportunities. Our joint venture models allow landowners to retain ownership of their land, with Forest Partners managing the planting, forest maintenance, pest management and interaction with the Emissions Trading Scheme. Returns from the investment are shared, providing income for farmers with very little input required. Forest Partners is able to create bespoke joint venture models tailored to meet specific landowners’ needs.

We are committed to an approach that helps farmers diversify and generate additional income, improves environmental outcomes, keeps good land in farming and actively supports rural communities.
