Environment

NZFM is very aware that there are many natural resources located throughout the estate it manages. Preserving the environment is a high priority for NZFM. Being aware of any positive and/or adverse environmental effects occurring within the forests is also extremely important.

Environmental Objective 3 of the NZFM Environmental Management System (EMS) states:

To manage the forests in such a way as to minimise effects on the fish and wildlife habitats, and other natural resources of the forests; in particular to prevent soil erosion and discharge of sediment into Lakes Taupo and Rotoaira, and into the streams, rivers and canals flowing into the lakes.

Environmental and social monitoring plays a key role in achieving this objective. NZFM’s EMS also outlines strict procedures for environmental monitoring and reporting.

Key environmental monitoring programmes for NZFM include: Water Quality Monitoring, Rare & Endangered Species, NZ Falcon in Plantation Forests, Rotoaira Forest Wetlands, Indigenous Forest Monitoring, and High Conservation Value Forests.
