Both exotic and native forest plantation play an important part in soil conservation in the Taranaki region. About half of the 27, 278 hectares of exotic forestry in the region is established on erosion-prone land (14, 738 hectares). Forestry as a sustainable solutionWhere land is suitable for growth and harvest, the Council advocates converting steep, erodible land to forestry. We can provide free Agroforestry Plans to farmers interested in establishing plantation forestry. These plans can

Commercial-scale log harvesting (covering 5ha or more) is the

The topography of the hill country is steeply dissected and is prone to soil erosion and slipping, but can support both pastoral farming and commercial forestry when managed in accordance with the physical limitations of the land. The coastal terraces along the north and south Taranaki coast make up the third major landform feature of the region. The soils of these areas are among the most versatile and productive in the
