Until 1987 the statistics were compiled by the New Zealand Forest Service. The figures for 1987 onwards are estimates from NEFD surveys.
Notes
1. The total planted forest areas have been
estimated independently from new planted forest areas. The areas in this table
are not the accumulated sums of new forest planting shown in Table 10.1.
2. Prior to 1987 "State" refers principally to the forests
planted or managed by the New Zealand Forest Service. Since 1987 "State" refers
primarily to the forests owned or managed by State-owned enterprises and the
Maori lease forests managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Since
1990 much of the State forest has been sold to the private sector. These sales
include: 1990/91, 249 000 hectares; 1992, 97 000 hectares; 1996, 170 000
hectares; and 2000, 10 000 hectares.
3. Private afforestation figures are based on incomplete
historical data, and some estimation has taken place.
