New Zealand Institute of Forestry Conference 2026

In recent years, forestry in New Zealand has faced intense scrutiny, high-profile challenges, and moments that have tested our industry’s reputation. Now, it’s time to shift the narrative.

The 2026 NZIF Conference, Back to Business: Forward with Confidence, is about showcasing how we can and do get forestry right.

Join industry leaders, innovators, researchers, and practitioners as we share success stories, highlight cutting-edge innovation, and explore strong partnerships that deliver both environmental and economic gains. Together, we’ll demonstrate what good forestry looks like – sustainable, safe, and forward-focused and rebuild confidence in an industry that is vital to New Zealand’s future.
