About Tenco Tenco is one of New Zealand’s largest exporters of forest products. We have built to this position since 1991 when the company was set up to export lumber to growing Asian export markets.  Experience and reputation count; from small beginnings Tenco has become the largest independent exporter of New Zealand lumber and New Zealand’s 4th largest log exporter.  Tenco has a regular shipping program of their own log vessels and in combination with these and other ships currently calls  at 7 New Zealand ports (5 North Island and 2 South Island).   Tenco buys standing forests.  Tenco currently has a number of forests which they purchased at harvestable age to log over a number of years for export and domestic markets.  Tenco also regularly buys smaller tracts of forest to harvest immediately.  Tenco is interested in broadening  the  base of owners from whom it purchases forests and stands of trees.  A deal with Tenco is a certain transaction.  The owner and Tenco will agree on a value of the tree crop and then Tenco will pay this amount to the owner either in a lump sum amount or on rate per volume unit out-turn from the forest depending on the nature of the tree crop.   Tenco knows there are a lot of farmers who have trees that are close or ready to harvest and will be asking themselves how they should proceed with the sale of their trees.  For some farmers the kind of certain transaction with money in the bank could well be appealing. Tenco is actively interested in buying harvestable forests or trees from areas including and north of Wanganui and in Hawke’s Bay (except the Gisborne and East Coast districts). If you own a forest in this area (16 years and older) and are ready to enter into this kind of agreement Tenco is interested to develop something with you.

Forestwood 2012

NEW ZEALAND INSTITUTE OF FORESTRY ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2012

Theme: "Engineering value: Growing & Harvesting Forests for Novel Wood Structures"

Dates: Sunday 1 July – Wednesday 4 July 2012

Venue: University of Canterbury -Ilam Campus

Description: New Zealand has a well earned reputation as a leader in growing sustainable plantation forests. In an increasingly competitive international market place it is important to take the next step and increase innovation within our timber related industries. Engineering solutions can drive improvements through the value chain from growing, harvesting, and use of timber products. The sector faces predicted growth in harvest volumes, rising demand for structural logs, increasingly steep harvesting terrain, and growing national and international interest in wood buildings. Against this context, the 2012 NZIF Conference will discuss how engineering solutions can add value and improve performance within New Zealand ’s plantation forest, wood processing and building sectors.

POPLARS AND WILLOWS - CENTRAL HAWKES BAY WORKSHOP, February 2012

Poplars and willows - they’re the arboreal workhorse of our rural landscape, holding hillsides and river banks together, providing shade, shelter, timber and fodder for stock when feed is short.

It’s therefore appropriate that the first Trees on Farms workshop for 2012, to be held in Central Hawke’s Bay in February, will focus on the management of these two species at a time of year when the option of harvesting appropriate trees for fodder starts to look very appealing.

The workshop will be held in the Huatokitoki catchment south east of Waipukurau on Wednesday February 15, starting at 9a.m. (more>>)
