Arnold Maunsell, Te Ahuahu Ahu Whenua Trust

"Our involvement with Taitokerau Forests Inc. has highlighted the importance of strategic management, for the future of our lands. Securing partnerships in the market place from finance, contractors, manufacturers, through to the end users. Knowing your market from the products you produce down through the marketing chain. Having a forest manager and industry expertise available regarding our land management is excellent.

The collective can help provide answers to common questions.  It keeps a finger on the pulse regarding up to date and future practices, and the development of partners in the industry. How we can provide input into the Taitokerau economy and local industry employment.

The Collective has provided our Trust members with more knowledge in the forestry sector, and land management. Has made our trustees aware of the issues regarding the forestry sector, and what can be applied to our land management. In general, it has been effective for our Trust forestry lands, and options available."
