About Ridgeline Forestry Services
Who We Are
Ridgeline Forestry Services is a locally based harvesting crew operating out of Kerikeri and working across Northland. Our team combines many years of practical forestry experience, with highly skilled operators experienced in tree felling, processing, and extraction.
The business grew from a firewood operation established over eight years ago, which gradually expanded into full harvesting as demand increased and the need for reliable harvesting services became clear. Today, Ridgeline Forestry Services operates a capable lineup of machinery and an experienced crew, allowing us to take on a range of woodlot and forestry harvesting work across the region.
Our Focus
Our focus is on safe, well-managed harvesting operations that deliver strong outcomes for landowners and forestry partners. We prioritise clear communication, responsible forestry practices, and maintaining high health and safety standards on every site. By working closely with landowners, contractors, and councils, we aim to ensure each harvest is carried out efficiently, professionally, and with care for the surrounding environment.
Vision
Our vision is to continue building Ridgeline Forestry Services as a trusted and dependable harvesting contractor in Northland. By investing in good people, reliable machinery, and strong working relationships, we aim to become a go-to partner for woodlot owners and forestry operations looking for professional and well-managed harvesting services.
Harvesting
We provide organised and efficient harvesting operations using experienced operators and modern forestry machinery. From tree felling and processing through to extraction and site management, our team focuses on safe, well-planned harvesting that delivers reliable results while maintaining environmental and safety standards.
Log Transport
We coordinate the wider harvest process, including roading, site access, and log transport. By working with trusted Northland transport contractors and forestry partners, we ensure logs are moved efficiently to mills or ports, keeping the harvest running smoothly from start to finish.
Consultation
We work with landowners to assess woodlots and plan harvesting operations. This includes providing estimates on harvest potential, expected tonnage, and practical considerations for accessing and harvesting the site. Our goal is to help landowners understand their options and achieve the best outcome from their forestry investment.
