A Day in the Life of a Tree Planter. A Tree Planter on the deforested slopes planting Pine Seedlings. The importance of Forests cannot be underestimated. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. In New Zealand, Forestry is the third largest export earner behind dairy and meat. New Zealand Forest Industry is based on sustainable plantations of predominantly Pinus radiata. Unpastural land on Farms is being encouraged to plant Pine Forests as a way to offset New Zealand's carbon emissions.
