Forest cleared for farmland

The forest has been cut down, the area burnt and grass sown on these Northland hillsides, around 1910. The photograph was probably taken a few years after burning – timber is still lying on the hillsides, but there has been time to build a farmhouse, sheds and a stockyard.
