New Zealand State Forests

New Zealand State Forests refer to the areas of forest land owned and managed by the government. These forests are primarily established for sustainable timber production, conservation, and recreation. They support biodiversity, protect soil and water resources, and provide habitats for various wildlife. The management of State Forests balances environmental concerns with economic needs, allowing for logging while ensuring the forests' long-term health. They also offer opportunities for public recreation, such as walking, biking, and camping, making them valuable natural assets for both locals and visitors.
