New Zealand’s oldest and (for a while anyway), largest industry was Forestry. From European navies looking to re-mast their ships, to settlers needing to clear land for pasture, from building bridges to making houses, and then furniture to fill their homes, our first and biggest resource was timber.
People were needed to manage this resource, and that labour was always in short supply. Enter the training schemes that would produce Forest Rangers, Deer Cullers and Woodsmen.
