Tasman Forestry Ltd: 1994 Genetically improved radiata pine seedlings being planted in cutover forests near Kawerau. Planters John London (foreground) and Joshua Ryder (rear) work with Bill Dorset Silviculture, one of many contract planting crews which replenish Tasman Forestry plantations during the winter planting season. The gangs usually plant evenly spaced rows of up to 800 seedlings per hectare. As the saplings develop, they are thinned to usually between 400 and 500 stems per hectare, depending on whether they are being cultivated as top quality, clearwood sawlogs or as pulp logs
