Scientists Also Needed

There is a great future in forestry, and the Forest Service would like to see still more Maoris applying for appointment as trainees. There have been many good Ranger trainees. but so far there has not been a Maori amongst the 15 young men who each year are chosen to become Forester trainees. Boys chosen to become Foresters are granted a bursary to enable them to study for a university science degree, then study overseas before returning to the Forest Service as scientific and technical advisers.
