Abstract: In Auckland the demand for sound timber far exceeds the supply. Within the range of this assured and rapidly growing market lie over 100,000 acres of coastal sandbelts admirably suited both for the growing of high quality timber and for the maximum use of machinery in the establishing and harvesting of forest crops.
In planning, foresters must make adequate provision for increased recreational use of these areas. They must also maintain safeguards against reversion to mobile sand.
