Makahu Forest

Location : 1110 Mangaehu Road, Stratford, Taranaki, New Zealand

Covering 320 hectares, it includes 271 hectares of Pinus radiata and 23 hectares of native interplanting (Tōtara and Mānuka). Established in 2024, the forest reflects our continued commitment to sustainable plantation investment in New Zealand.
230 hectares are currently registered in the NZ ETS under Averaging, with 22 hectares to be added after the 2025 season, strengthening both the carbon and forestry value of the property.

Makahu Forest represents SUN&L New Zealand’s focus on carbon-aligned, sustainable forestry development and our confidence in New Zealand’s plantation sector.
