A permit application generally will not require as much detail as a sustainable forest management plan, but there are a number of features common to both, including the principle of management for long-term forest sustainability. PREPARING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The Ministry of Forestry has permit application forms, which describe the minimum amount of detail required, including maps. The title of the map and map series should be listed, eg, "Q21 Hawera NZ Map 260 Series". The Ministry of Forestry recommends that applicants seek help from forestry professionals experienced in forest appraisal and indigenous forest management, particularly when an inventory is needed to confirm the proposed harvest level allowed under a permit.

Extractions: Growing Tomorrow's Forests Today program. The program is based on the premise that responsible environmental policy and sound business practices can be integrated to the benefit of companies, shareholders, customers and the people they serve. Through the SFI program, we can continue to reward investors, create jobs, and extend sound forest management throughout our nation's forests for the benefit of generations to come. In September 2000, an independent multi-stakeholder Sustainable Forestry Board (SFB) was established with the full responsibility of managing the SFI program standard and verification procedures and SFI program compliance. The new SFB, now seeking status as an independent non-profit organization, is comprised of 15 members, two-thirds of whom are from outside interest groups such as environmental and conservation groups.
