Ernslaw One is a vertically integrated softwood plantation company with the fourth largest forest estate in New Zealand.

Ernslaw One formed in New Zealand in 1990 when it purchased the cutting rights to a number of the state forests in the Coromandel, Southern North Island, and Otago. It also purchased the Conical Hill sawmill near Tapanui. In the mid-1990s, the forest estate was expanded through the buying of farmland and establishing new plantation forests. This growth occurred in three main areas, being Gisborne, Southern North Island and Otago-Southland. In 2004, Ernslaw One purchased the cutting rights to the ex-state forests on the East Coast of the North Island from the receivers of Huaguang Forests. In 2008, WPI International was purchased, adding additional forests, a sawmill and a pulp mill in the Ohakune region to the company's estate.

Forestry

Ernslaw One is the fourth largest forest owner in New Zealand with approximately 100,000 hectares of forest. The estate is comprised of mainly Radiata pine and Douglas fir softwood species in privately owned forest and Crown Forest Leases in both the North and South Islands. Radiata pine is grown in the North Island at a number of locations including the Coromandel, Gisborne, Ruapehu and Manawatu/Rangitikei regions. Douglas fir and Radiata pine are grown at the South Island forest estates in the Southland and Otago regions.
