The West Coast — Southland Beech Scheme

The West Coast — Southland Beech Scheme

Under the N.Z. Forest Service proposals 468,880 acres of forest on the West Coast and Southland is to be offered on worldwide tender to the paper pulp industry. It appears certain that a Japanese controlled consortium will exploit these forests. Public and professional organisations throughout the country oppose the beech scheme, which the Nature Conservation Council refers to as the "pine scheme" because of the 50% of forest that will be replanted in exotic pines.
