Forestry activities are regulated under the National Environmental Standard for Commercial Forestry (NES-CF). Some activities are permitted (i.e. no resource consent required) whilst others require resource consent.  

Our compliance team monitor all forestry consents and in many instances we monitor permitted activities for forestry sites.  

This page focusses on resource consent requirements relating to forestry activities. Read more general information on forestry.
