Notes
- The area of forest owned or managed by major forest owners can be found in the New Zealand Industry booklet, Facts & Figures 2006/2007, page 5
(see www.nzfoa.org.nz). - Ownership is based solely on the ownership of the forest irrespective of the ownership of the land.
- Net stocked planted production forest area.
- Significant changes in forest ownership occurred during 2003, resulting in large areas of forest previously owned by public companies now being privately owned.
- “Privately owned” includes all privately owned forests. The legal entities included in this category are private companies, partnerships, individuals and trusts, which include Mäori trusts and incorporations.
- “Central government” forests are predominantly Crown-owned forests on Mäori leasehold land. These forests are managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
