Wairarapa man Steve Wilton has been re-elected to the Forest Growers Levy Trust board as a representative of growers of small plantation forests.
He was challenged by Guy Farman who, like Mr Wilton, is based in Wairarapa.
Two hundred and five valid votes were cast in the online election which was conducted by Research NZ on behalf of the trust. The result was: Steve Wilton, 158 votes; Guy Farman, 47 votes.
Mr Wilton now rejoins Ian Jackson on the trust as a representative of owners of forests of between 4ha and 1000ha. The representatives of owners of forests larger than 1000ha are David Balfour, Bill McCallum, Paul Nicholls and Phil Taylor.
