Pinus Radiata

Sustainable Radiata Pine

FSC Certification renewed

Wenita has recently received its renewed FSC Forest Management certificate (issued December 2011), following an extensive audit of its processes and operations by SGS Qualifor.  The certificate is valid for 5 years, until December 2016, with annual surveillance audits.

Wenita staff and land prep contractors have been busy making preparations for a very big planting season this year, with plans to re-plant about 1400ha in radiata pine & douglas fir. Planting is expected to begin late in May and continue until late August.
