Farm Forestry New ZealandWoodside – a small forest managed on multiple use principles
New Zealand Tree Grower May 2016.
John Wardle has at last published the information many of us have been waiting for in his new book Woodside – a small forest managed on multiple use principles. John has been managing his beech forest and his radiata pine forest for quite a few years by selective harvesting.
His management of the native beech follows the strict guidelines required for sustainable management of native timber. However, selectively harvesting radiata pine, compared with the usual clear felling process, is rarely if ever carried out in New Zealand. John has now published virtually all the information you need to understand how selective harvesting can be carried out for native beech and radiata pine and produce a reasonable income.
