45 Minute Inquiry - Port of Tauranga

Today for 45 minute inquiry we studdied about the logs at the Port of Tauranga.

The logs are imported from Asia, sent here on a container ship. The type of trees are pine trees. The 1899 the government planted a forest of pine trees in Whakarewareaw, near Rotorua then in 2000 forestry people cut them down and imported them into ports and made paper. 

Asia then started importing logs here then New Zealand put a special treatment in them and sent them back to Asia. If the ships are imported from Asia they come over on a container ship. If they are coming from other parts of New Zealand they use a logging truch or a train.
