Harvesting has been ingrained in the essence of our business since its inception. In the early days, founder Trevor Benson personally felled trees for milling into battens, using a Bristol 25 bulldozer to pull the logs. The installation of a post peeler in 1983 necessitated a substantial increase in log supply, leading Trevor to employ two staff members for full-time harvesting.
From this humble beginning, Hautapu Pine has evolved significantly. Presently, two harvesting crews operate in the lower North Island area under the banner of Hautapu Logging, managed by Chris Benson, who has worked in forestry for over 30 years.
Hautapu Pine is a large specialist producer of fence posts, poles, and house piles.
