The Government may be excluding exotic plantings from the carbon credit system. Forestry Minister Stuart Nash has released a discussion document which would take exotic plantings like the radiata pine off the Emissions Trading Scheme. He's cited a need for safeguards against risks such as pests, fire, and damaged habitats for native species. But the Forest Owners Association says all these risks are still present with native trees. President Phil Taylor told Mike Hosking concerns about pine trees are unfounded. “Pine is an amazing tree and it’s been the foundation of the forest industry in New Zealand for many decades, in fact centuries.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
