[[Kaingaroa Forest]] in [[New Zealand]] is the second largest planted forest in the southern hemisphere after the Sabie/Graskop area in South Africa. It is one of the many plantation forests planted since European settlement. The [[Monterey Pine]] (''Pinus radiata'') is commonly used for plantations since a fast-growing cultivar suitable for a wide range of conditions has been developed.

Government agencies, environmental organisations and private trusts carry out tree planting for [[conservation (ethic)|conservation]] and [[climate change mitigation]]. While some work is carried out by private enterprise, there are also planting days organised for volunteers. [[Landcare Research]] use planted forests for their EBEX21 system for greenhouse gas emissions mitigations.<ref>[http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resources/business/ebex21 EBEX21] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510025800/http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resources/business/ebex21 |date=2015-05-10 }}, Carbon Credits System</ref>
