Forestry operators are hopeful that an independent review of the Emissions Trading Scheme will reduce the costs on the sector. 

The Government's announced a review into the forestry component of the ETS. 

Forestry Minister Todd McClay says it's about delivering on an election promise. 

Forest Owners Association President Grant Dodson told Mike Hosking that he hopes it results in lower costs. 

He says they're happy to pay their share, but it must be balanced across all sectors.
