Read MoreWho We Are
Three North Island communities came together in 2011 to establish a community forest that would be a model for sustainable management and generate revenue, employment, business, recreational, educational and other opportunities for residents of the North Island.
The North Island Community Forest Agreement includes three discontinuous areas (Quatse Lake Area, Marble River Area & Alice Lake Area) with a combined total area of approximately 2,390 hectares. The Annual Allowable Cut determination for the community forest is 10,000 cubic metres of coniferous forests and 400 cubic metres of deciduous trees.
Goals
- Form partnerships and generate greater support of the North Island Community Forest throughout the region.
- Optimize and diversify revenue through the five-year cut, and provide opportunities for local businesses.
- Establish operational excellence in business and sustainable resource management.
- Increase the area and impact of the community forest within the North Island.
