Who we are

Northland Forestry Nursery Limited is owned by Kevin and Christine Strawbridge and managed by Kevin.

Kevin has a Bachelor in Forestry Degree and has been a Forestry professional for 42 years, 20 years as a Forester and 22 years as a Nursery Manager. He understands what it takes to establish and manage your forest.

With a full time staff of five (and seasonal workers when harvesting) we grow up to 10 million seedlings per annum on our centrally located site at Kaikohe in the mid North. Established in 2001 we are the largest pine nursery north of Rotorua supplying seedlings to the majority of large forestry enterprises in the Northland and Auckland Regions.

We pride ourselves on the high survivability of our planting stock knowing that this makes a huge difference to the viability of our customers’ forestry businesses. We are a nursery business dedicated to growing the best possible radiata pine seedlings suitable for forest establishment in the Auckland and Northland Regions.

From growing quality pine seedlings with the right genetics that suit your site or silvicultural plans through to dispatching seedlings on time, in specification, with no hassles you can count on us.
