TITLE:

Mount Tiger Forest Quarterly Report July - September 2018

ID:

A1111658

From:

Nicole Inger, Property Officer

 

Executive summary

The purpose of this report is to present background information and an update on Council’s Mount Tiger Forest by way of the attached report from Ian Jenkins of Jenksmax Consulting Limited, Council’s forestry consultant.

 

Recommendation

That the report ‘Mount Tiger Forest Quarterly Report July - September 2018’ by Nicole Inger, Property Officer and dated 24 September 2018, be received.

 

Background

As per the Forestry Management Report, council’s consultant, Jenksmax Consulting Limited, is to report back to council every quarter providing an update of Mt Tiger forest.  The significant matters reported in Quarter One are as follows:

-           Councils forest managers, Northland Forest Managers Limited (NFML), continue to carry out normal pre-harvest planning activities in the hope to harvest the 1991 stand this coming summer.  Some challenges have been brought to councils attention, being power lines, parts of the stand are ‘blind’, and a significant archaeological site.  As NFML continue reviewing the site it is highly likely that only some 80% of the stand will be physically and economically feasible to harvest.

-           NFML have undertaken blanking of gaps within the newly planted 2017 stand.

-           A follow up inspection after the blanking showed animal (possum or rabbit) damage.  Councils biosecurity team are currently investigating.
