FORESTRY & THE FUTURE A fforestation provides for the future. By the time he has grown up, these thousands of acres of valuable timber will have contributed their wealth. The trees were not planted by accident, nor will there be anything haphazard about their harvesting and milling. The Forest Service is ensuring that our forest acreage is increased to provide for the needs of future generations, that highlands and lowlands are protected from erosion and flood, that our forests are preserved against the ravages of fire and indiscriminate felling. Forestry is more than a great primary industry… it is also soil research, plant research, insect research, and timber research. It means surveying, roadmaking, trucking, milling and exporting, the protection of watersheds, the preservation of tourist and recreational areas. Forestry is for you and your children. Forestry is your investment Issued by the New Zealand Forest Service. 1350
