Conservation Values – The loss of flora and fauna that is unique to the Otago region.
Land Use Values – Timber in most wildings has little economic use and a closed conifer shades out grazing species.
Hydrological Values – Closed canopy lowers water yield into rivers/catchments due to canopy interception and evaporation.
Recreational Values – Such as tramping, walking, running and cycling are disturbed.
