This is the way we should be managing our forests. Let our indigenous forest recover or be re-established and then harvest 2 trees of high value timber per hectare per year. That way the land is protected, there are no slash problems, tangata whenua are involved, and the forest becomes sustainable long term. Such an approach needs a long term vision and a different all-embracing value proposition. It can be done. Clear felling of "weed" pines is the lowest value option in the big picture view.
