NZFOA criticizes Helen Clark Foundation's Pathways to Prosperity report for undervaluing forestry benefits.

New Zealand Forest Owners Association (NZFOA) criticizes the Helen Clark Foundation's Pathways to Prosperity report for understating forestry benefits. The report claims forestry is a pine monoculture harming waterways, but NZFOA's Dr Elizabeth Heeg argues that forestry generates twice the jobs per hectare compared to hill country farming, and has a key role in strengthening rural communities.
