History of New Zealand forestry
1990
Roche, M.
An account of the origins and growth of the New Zealand timber industry, beginning with the spar trade of the 1790s to 1840s. The emergence of the regional industries, the character of saw-milling in various parts of the country to the time when a national timber industry emerged in the late nineteenth century and its demise as natural forests were cut out are covered. The transformation of the industry with the planting of state and private sector forests in the 1920s which formed the basis for the emergence of the pulp and paper industry in the 1950s is described and the book continues up to and beyond the disestablishment in 1987 of the New Zealand Forest Service and the creation of the Department of Conservation, Ministry of Forestry and Forestry Corporation
