OUR MESSAGE TO PRIVATE OWNERS
PLANNING FOR PROFIT
Many Forest Owners have no idea of the value of their forest / woodlot investment or how they will ensure best commercial outcomes, talk to TAML for best independent advice.
TAML offers comprehensive forest services across all aspects of forestry, based on proven experience.
TAML INVESTMENT
With a shortage of forestry contractors, the option for TAML to start a harvesting crew of our own in the Taranaki region was undertaken. With configurations of gear suited to small woodlots as well as plantation forests the versatility of what is know as Taranaki Logger Ltd is very beneficial.

Our team are members of the New Zealand Institute of Forestry (MNZIF), offering a wide range of experience and expertise across all aspects of forestry.
