Abstract

This chapter explains the statutes under which Pureora Forest Park (PFP) was established, its early management policies, and the creation of its Ecological Areas. It describes the traumatic disbanding of the New Zealand Forest Service (NZFS), once among the most powerful of NZ Government departments, and the reorganisation of all conservation activities formerly undertaken by NZFS, NZ Wildlife Service (NZWS), the Department of Lands and Survey, and the Historic Places Trust into a new Department of Conservation (DOC). The Ministerial Brief from NZFS to DOC accurately predicted many future problems.
