Abstract: Elizabeth Orr is the daughter of Alex Robert Entrican (Pat), the longest-serving Director of the New Zealand Forest Service (initially the State Forest Service), who grew up in a household where trees, forests and wood processing were regular discussion items. Holidays included visits to forests and meetings with forestry people. She was still a young woman when her father passed away 52 years ago, and only four years after retiring as Director in 1961.
