Over the last 23 years, the company has evolved from a small team of six to a multi-crew operation of almost 40; today, Baypine Forestry is proud to be the silviculture provider of choice for major clients across the East Coast (Gisborne) and Central North regions of New Zealand’s North Island. With an inclusive open-door policy and a system that supports forestry operations from planting through thinning to waste, Baypine Forestry is certainly a space the wider industry should continue to watch. Baypine Forestry provides for their clients across two service spheres: Forestry services and Arborist services. Forestry services include planting of both pine and native species, pruning from standard to ultra-high sizes, thinning to waste, spot spraying, and plantation/ land regeneration. Arborist services include asset removal, maintenance, and site clearing.

There was a massive demand from forest owners who were looking for the best contractor, because the level of quality that they could see in the industry was pretty low in some areas. I had a few guys working for me at that point, and we started winning contracts through our hard work and BAYPINE FORESTRY Servicing the Forest Industry AT A GLANCE BAYPINE FORESTRY WHAT: Provider of forestry and silviculture services throughout New Zealand’s North Island WHERE: Baypine Forestry is headquartered in Manutuke, New Zealand WEBSITE: http://baypineforestry.co.nz/index.html
