Forestry

Forestry has played a major part in the Milton District’s economic development.

It continues to grow and has become one of the major employers in the region.

In the Otago-Southland region the total area in forestry is 140,000 ha, which is increasing every year.

Two of the major forests in the area are the Berwick forest and Akatore forest, both of which make for picturesque scenic drives.
