Little bit about us…

We are a Tūwharetoa whānau-led forestry, firewood and tree works business based in Tūrangi, providing tree removal, small woodlot harvesting, site clean-ups, and firewood supply across the Central Plateau.

Founded by Jeremy Dunster and Manaia Blaikie, the business combines over 30 years of hands-on forestry experience with practical project coordination and clear communication throughout each job.

We work with landowners, farms, iwi organisations, and local whānau on a range of projects, from hazardous tree removal to planned harvesting and land clean-ups, with a focus on safe work, tidy outcomes, and good value for money.

Where possible, we recover and market usable timber and organise cartage off site, helping reduce project costs while making good use of the resource.

Dunster Harvesting was built to provide honest advice, fair pricing, and dependable local service.
