Abstract: Using as bases the known facts and recognizable trends of today, an attempt is made to describe forestry in Canterbury in the year 2062.
Tentative forecasts are made of the probable geographical distribution of the forests of the future, of what probably they will look like, and of how probably they will serve the varying needs of the then community. To do this, certain basic human, economic, technical, and climatic assumptions have of necessity been made.
