"Kia hiwa ra, kia hiwa ra
te tangi a te manu nei, kuui, kuui, kuui
tuia, tuia, tui-tuia
tuia i runga, tuia i raro, tuia i roto, tuia i waho
ka rongo te po, ka rongo te ao
i te pu korero i te wananga
puawhio-rangi, putakataka, te marama ahunuku te marama
ahurangi ka takoto koutou i te wa-o-tu
tu winiwini, tu wanawana, tu i whakaputaiana ki te whei ao
ka tu numia, ka tu rawea,
ka whakaoti nuku
ka whakaoti rangi
ko to manawa ko taku manawa, ka irihia
whano, whano, whano mai te toki
haumi ee, hui ee taiki ee"

Message from Trustees

Trustees are pleased to announce the appointment of Darrin Sykes to the position of Chief Executive at Crown Forestry Rental Trust. Darrin will begin his formal duties at the Trust on 15 March 2010.

Darrin’s primary tribal affiliation is Te Arawa, particularly Ngati Rangitihi. 

Darrin is currently the Director of the Waitangi Tribunal and has an acute understanding of the Treaty sector. We believe this experience is extremely valuable as he leads the Trust through its next phase.

Darrin will embark on a regional tour in April to present the Trust’s Business plan to claimants. His first month will be spent immersing himself in the organisation’s activities and meeting with Trustees, management and staff.

Darrin is committed to the Treaty sector and Trustees believe his tenure at the Trust will complement his already impressive suite of skills. He has our confidence and support and we know claimants will congratulate Darrin on his appointment.

Trustees also acknowledge Ben Dalton for his five years service at the helm of the Trust. Ben provided the Trust with solid leadership through some challenging times during his term as Chief Executive.

In the interim period before Darrin begins formal duties the role of acting Chief Executive will be shared between Jason Ake and Andrew French. More

The Economics of Selecting Crown Forest Licensed Land in a Settlement Package

The Trust has recently commissioned two economic reports on the viability of selecting Crown forest licensed land as part of a claimant groups redress package. These will assist settlement groups to assess the current commercial potential and future opportunities of alternative land uses on Crown forest licensed land.

The Trust believes that these reports available below will provide claimant groups with a comprehensive introduction to the impacts of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) on Crown forest licensed land, including the potential for claimant groups to have New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) obligations as future owners of the land, and on the economics of alternative enterprises and land uses.  

 

Economics of Alternative Land Use on Crown Forest Licensed Land

This report provides a comparative analysis of the economics of a number of pastoral enterprises with that of forestry taking into account the impacts of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). It also briefly looks at commercial options for the future management of Crown forest licensed land.

This report discusses how the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) works and how it applies to Crown forest licensed land. It is important that claimant groups properly understand and assess the impact of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) on Crown forest licensed land as they negotiate their settlement packages.
