Milling Settlements

Some timber industries were recently closed by government decree causing instant financial devastation others industries simply rand out of forest leaving a small core population surviving on the work they can generate. Studies We explore the communities recently hit and see how this action affected the people, economy and assets.  We learn about the the skills that millers worked to acquire, now worthless, and we see the results of government attempts to help the people adapt to new careers.     See also: Whararoa & Harri   - Old timber towns among spectacular mountains Kaneri & Brunner  - now quiet holiday communities near picturesque lakes Springs Junction   - Highway intersection with travellers services Settlements in the zone Settlement Studies
