"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"

More Whakaruruhau for Crown Forestry Rental TrustCrown Forestry Rental Trust Trustees have announced the establishment of a Patron/Whakaruruhau position for the Trust and are delighted that Sir Graham Latimer has accepted his appointment to the role. More Newsletter Winter 2010Message from the Chief ExecutiveI have been in this job for coming close to six months now, and I am beginning to appreciate the level of scrutiny that is applied by both the government and claimants to the Trust’s funding policies. It is worth reminding the sector that the Crown Forestry Rental Trust was set up because Sir Graham et al took the government to task over its planned sale of the state forestry estate in the mid to late 1980s. The Trust is an independent funding organisation governed by its Trust Deed. It does not hold Maori funds, nor does it source its funding from the public purse. The Trust is by far the largest Treaty sector claimant funder outstripping contributions from both the Office of Treaty Settlements and the Waitangi Tribunal combined. The Trust is expecting to spend $27.5m on claimants involved in direct negotiations with the Crown over the next year. This is in contrast with the Office of Treaty Settlements allocation of $10m for claimant funding towards the settlement of historical Treaty claims.

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.
