New guidelines for transitioning from exotic to native forest

We’re excited to release our ‘Transitioning Exotic Forest to Native - Preliminary Guidelines for Transition’. Our thanks to MPI and forestry partners who have supported this project so far. Guidance is based on our research to date and will be updated at the end of the project with results from our trials. The guidelines can be found here under Project Reports.

They include information on Factors affecting native understorey regeneration, General management considerations, Active management options and Monitoring.

New published paper for our Transition Project

We are pleased to share a recently published paper in the NZ Journal of Forestry that comes from our ‘Transitioning exotic forest to native’ project. This paper describes the understory characteristics found under pine timber plantations around NZ. It helps answer the question of ‘what is already existing under pine stands managed for timber?’ Other project research is focusing on helping answer the question of what management intervention is needed to help advance a pine to native transition?

Carbon and biodiversity in the understory vegetation of New Zealand’s exotic tree plantations by Mark Kimberley, Meg Graeme and David Bergin, is available on our website here. Scroll down to ‘Published Papers’.

First published in the NZ Journal of Forestry, February 2026, Vol. 70, No. 4, pp. 23-29
