The Applicant is a limited partnership established as an investment entity for the purposes of developing a large and geographically diverse forestry portfolio.

The Land currently includes 58 hectares of pinus radiata at a density of 1,000 stems per hectares, 35 hectares of unplantable land (ridges, gullies, and steep land), and 11 hectares of buffer land, set-backs, and riparian planting.
