A 2500 hectare sheep and beef farm at the headwaters of the Kakanui River has been bought by New Zealand Carbon Farming.
The company establishes permanent forests to mitigate climate change through carbon credits.
Locals say the company already has one farm in the Waitaki region which is already showing adverse environmental affects.
Natural resources engineer at environmental consultancy group Irricon Keri Johnston, who spoke at the meeting, said the community is not against forestry but just wants a better understanding of what is going on. The Kakanui River is already considered to be water short - so the presence of forestry over such a large area in the headwaters of the catchment will impact the amount of water which makes its way into the river.

The Waitaki District Council has sent a clear message to the carbon forestry industry after hearing farmers concerns about large forestry conversions.
At a council meeting on Tuesday, North Otago farmers Murray Simpson, Jane Smith and Paul Ruddenklau told councillors they feared the environmental impacts carbon forestry developments could have on their properties.
Councillors then unanimously agreed to ask council staff to begin drafting proposals to address production and carbon forestry effects in the district.
Council chief executive Fergus Power said it set a clear policy direction, and sent a signal to the industry.
