Appendix 2 - Maps - Forest Classes of Māori Land by Region
The accompanying maps have been derived from the LCDB and other sources, and show the following:
- regional boundary;
- Māori land;
- Māori land supporting indigenous forest by forest class.
The tables provided in Section 3 of this report relate directly to the information from these maps.
It should be noted that while the boundaries of Māori land are accurate, some of the forest classes shown might have changed since the base data from which the maps were compiled was developed. In particular some areas around Rotorua have been heavily exploited for firewood in recent years leaving almost no residual forest. In parts of the Urewera the softwood component on parts of many of the Māori blocks has been removed. Thus for a block that is shown as rimu-matai-hardwood, there are parts of the forest that are now more correctly hardwood forest.
