There were at one time schools of forestry in the universities both at Auckland and at Christchurch; these have been closed for many years. The Forest Service itself conducts some forms of instruction or in-service training, and there is a Forest Research Institute at Rotorua; but it relies mainly on sending selected undergraduates overseas for training in degree courses.
