This handout provides a high-level outline of the management plan and economics to use pines as a nurse crop to establish natives. An indicative comparison is provided with planting natives, pines as production forestry, and sheep and beef farming. The government is currently consulting on a number of changes to the ETS (including transitional forestry) and has a research program underway to review the yield tables used to determine sequestration of natives (currently based on Manuka/Kanuka dominated scrub). This paper is based on on current legislation as at August 2023.
