We believe more than 15,000 hectares of productive farmland has been sold for carbon forestry since the Governmentโ€™s December 4 announcement - so weโ€™ve pulled together a list and sent it to the Minister this week.

New Zealandโ€™s iconic landscapes are under threat from wilding pines. This issue is a ticking time bomb thatโ€™s about to blow up big time.
