PLANTING MACROCARPA CYPRESS
Welcome. Pure wood is an initiative of MacDirect Limited. For the past 30 years we have been working with local farmers and plantation owners to not only encourage them to grow sustainably, but also supply the local market.
The Pure Wood initiative is here to help create and foster solid working relationships between farmers, who are growing or desire to grow cypress timbers, and producers to supply our kiwi customers.
MacDirect has fostered this network and we are excited to continue to build these strong working partnerships for many years to come.
INFORMED FARMERS
Over the years we have grown our understanding of the value in the partnership between the farmers and plantation owners we work with. Our aim is to provide farmers with the following
1. Expert advice on the market for our product
2. Support and advice for growing and harvesting as related to our market.
3. A fair price for New Zealand grown trees by the log weight.
4. A commitment to working together long term to ensure supply to the local market and also a commitment to sustainable practices.
If you are a farm forester or have a plantation and would like to work with us, fill in the contact form below.
