Forestry
Stewart Family Forests stands as one of New Zealand's largest privately-owned forestry businesses, managing approximately 6,500 hectares of thriving forestry across nine prime locations in Otago. Since planting our first tree in 1979, we've expanded our operations to plant around 1 million tree seedlings annually, growing our forestry at an impressive rate of 500-1,000 hectares per year. Our commitment to sustainable forestry practices includes active participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) alongside regular harvesting rotations. Our diverse portfolio spans from one to 35-year-old trees, featuring a variety of species including Pine, Douglas Fir, and Macrocarpa. With our forestry portfolio sequestering one tonne of carbon from the atmosphere every seven minutes, we showcase our dedication to fostering a sustainable and valuable forestry legacy while actively combating climate change.

The Stewart family retains a cornerstone shareholding of around 30%, reflecting our confidence and commitment to the fund. Managed by the fully-owned subsidiary, FortHill Property Management, the FHP portfolio exemplifies our strategic approach to property investment.
