Forestry is forever New Zealand is a nation of traders. And to maintain our high standard of living, it is essential, as our population grows, to keep developing more local products, and world markets in which to sell them. Towards this important national objective, the growing timber industry has made a spectacular contribution. Last year, exports of forest products earned over £8,000,000 in overseas funds. We sold logs to Japan, sawn limber to Australia, woodpulp, newsprint, and paperboard — in quantities that confirm the Timber Industry as New Zealand's fourth largest exporter. Not only is it valuable in its own right; it is a stabiliser against fluctuations in overseas prices for animal products. And the export timber industry is only beginning to grow! Looking ahead to an ultimate export potential of £50,000,000 per year the Forest Service, as it has in the past, continues to do the foundation work for these increased limber exports. By wise forestry management and improved silvicultural practices it makes its contribution to the national benefit Forestry is forever lssued in the interests of forest protection by The New Zealand Forest Service. 3847
