Sustainable and responsive forestry practice

At Logic Forestry Solutions we’re helping protect forest ecosystems alongside timber production, land management, and the long-term health of the environment.

We bring the latest scientific understanding and insights to the job of managing your forest, while meeting your investment needs, and maintaining the integrity of forest ecosystems.

We’re planning for and planting natives and long-term species for clients at a time when communities are more impactful on where and what type of trees are planted.

Our expert team can help you balance the need for new forest planting (afforestation) using species like redwood, manuka and eucalyptus.

Let us help you understand your forest growth and how it applies to each ecological site type.

Logic is proud of its long-term involvement in new forestry conversions such as this one at Mahia. Around 220ha of manuka was planted in 2020 for the dual purpose of commercial honey production and carbon farming. The four-year-old manuka will in time play an important role in re-vegetating slopes and providing an excellent nursery for other growing native plants.
We’re also proud to lead one of New Zealand’s largest afforestation initiatives, the 4,800ha Huiarua/Matanui project which serves as an East Coast showcase of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Initiated in 2022, the five-year plan involves retiring approximately 850ha for riparian zones, planting redwoods on marginal land for stability, and introducing beech and totara as a long-term forest solution. The inclusion of native manuka is aiding in waterway protection and enhancing biodiversity. This project is generating 15 years of employment opportunities for local workers who have the option to reside onsite. With FSC certification underway and strong partnerships with regulators, this initiative in Tairāwhiti is safeguarding the land while enhancing and enriching cultural and social advantages.
