Forest Manager's Comments:
After third lift pruning and the final thin we will achieve a minimum pruned height of 6.2 metres with an average stocking of approximately 350 sph. P F Olsen & Company Ltd will then perform final audits in all Partnerships; this is to ensure all operational requirements within the prospectus have been achieved.
(PRP) plots have now been established in Partnerships 48 Dunmore North and 49 Minormore. These sample areas selected will help assist us when forecasting growth rates and potential yields. Data will be collected from the same trees each year.
Grazing of forest Partnerships keeps access ways open and also reduces the risk of fire. All contractors are required to have a minimum amount of fire equipment which include shovels, slashers, portable rega pumps (knap sack) and access to 80 litres of water. All contractors and crew bosses are qualified and trained in basic forest fire control techniques.
