Until 1987 the statistics were compiled by the New Zealand Forest Service. The figures for 1987 onwards are estimates from NEFD surveys.
Notes
- 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 9.1.
- 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 Mäori lease forests managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
- Private afforestation figures are based on incomplete historical data, and considerable estimation has taken place.
