THE DRAMA OF CONSERVATION: THE HISTORY OF PUREORA FOREST, NEW ZEALAND 
This book reviews the geological history of the volcanic zone, its flora and fauna, and the history of Maori and European utilization of forest resources. Chapter-length discussions cover management of the native forest by the New Zealand Forest Service; the forest village and its sawmills; the intensive timber harvesting, and the conflicts with conservationists and expensive compensation agreements that ensued. Separate chapters cover initiatives to protect the forest from introduced herbivores; to guard protected species, especially birds, from predators; the facilities for recreational hunting; the development of the Timber Trail, an 83 km cycleway through the forest and along old logging tramways, complete with detailed interpretation signs illustrating the history of logging; and the family recreation areas and tracks.
The final chapter gathers conclusions and advances prospects for the future of Pureora Forest.
Special Conference Cost $20 (usually $30 from DOC Hamilton)
