Thinnings:
Thinnings is the process of removing trees between canopy closure and the final Harvests. In the thinning process; smaller, poorer quality and weaker trees are removed to concentrate growth on better remaining trees. We currently specialize in flat area thinning operations using manual felling and tractor extraction.
Clear Felling:
Clear felling is another component of Harvesting. Clear felling is carried out at the end of the tree rotation and involves removing the entire crop. We perform both flat area and steep area clear felling using manual felling and mechanical extraction. Our fleet of extraction machines include Shovel Yarders and Cable Skidder.
Timber Sales:
Makarapa harvesting buys standing timber from established companies and private farmers. We then harvest the timber and prepare it for different markets. We sell the different log products as specified by the market at very competitive rates.
