EXISTING FORESTRY

There exists one stand of 2nd rotation pre 1990 Pinus radiata (18.8 Ha).

FUTURE HARVESTING

If forestry is your chosen option, the contour lends itself to straight forward road upgrading and to a large percentage of mechanised harvesting.

CARBON OPPORTUNITIES

There is an estimated 595 Ha of pasture available for planting that could meet the definition of post 1989 forestry land. This includes 25.5 ha of post 89 forest that was returned to pasture in 2018.

In addition to this, there are some areas of indigenous vegetation that may well also be ETS eligible.

TENURE

Freehold.
