Harvesting a forestry block isn't as simple as booking the machinery transport and showing up. There is alot that goes into your harvest before, during and after trees have been felled + all of the safety requirements on top.

Head to www.bowmancontracting.co.nz to get in touch with Brad to make sure your whole harvest is well taken care of.

🌲 Forestry Market Update – July 2025 🌲

Markets remain tight, but at Bowman Contracting, we're committed to getting the best return for our landowners — no matter the conditions.

📉 A-grade export prices have softened, and domestic mills are under pressure with excess supply — but we’re staying ahead by:

✅ Leveraging long-standing relationships with processors and exporters
✅ Offering fixed-price and managed-risk agreements to protect returns
✅ Strategically planning harvests to optimise grade recovery and cost per tonne

We're not just harvesting — we're adding value every step of the way. Whether you're ready to log now or just weighing your options, let’s talk about how we can maximise the value of your investment.
