At one stage there was a lot of research being done with Kauri by well known Native Plantsman Graeme Platt. Recently his name appeared in this interesting article relating to other species suitable for timber in NZ. http://www.conifers.co.nz/Additional_info/Forestry%20&%20Nut%20Trees.htm with reference to selective logging may I give my 1 cents worth . Having spent some time in Sarawak (Borneo) I suppose the shock of seeing such vast forests totally decimated ,and the troubles the government is now having trying to police the new selective logging practices has made me somewhat negative towards any Native Forest logging.
