  • Creating a Pastoral World Through Fire: the Case of the Manawatu, 1870 – 1910
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Journal Systems at the Victoria University of Wellington Library Creating a Pastoral World Through Fire: The Case of the Manawatu, 1870 – 1910 CATHERINE KNIGHT Abstract This article examines the role of bush burning in the opening up of bush country in the Manawatu for pastoral farming. Within only a few decades, bush burns had transformed a densely forested environment into one of verdant pasture, scattered with the charred stumps and limbs of incinerated forest. The paper explores the perceptions of bush burning at the time, before examining the voices of doubt and dissent in respect to the rapid destruction of New Zealand’s native forest, both at a national and local level. Finally, the paper will seek to explain why, compared in particular to the South Island, the local voices of protest were only weak, and failed to lead to any effective action (political or otherwise) to preserve Manawatu’s forests. Introduction When the Manawatu, in the lower North Island of New Zealand, was opened up for European settlement in the late 1860s, it was almost completely clothed in thick, impenetrable forest. There were no roads or railways; the Manawatu River and a few Māori bush-tracks were the only means of access into this forested hinterland.1 Initial settlement was slow, and several years after its purchase by the Government, The Official Handbook of New Zealand described the district as having ‘an almost inexhaustible supply of the most valuable
