History
In January 1874 the separate forest conservancies of George, Knysna and Tsitsikamma were amalgamated under a Conservator of Forests for the entire Midland Region who had his headquarters at Knysna (John Phillips: The Forests of George, Knysna and the Zitzikama, p 99).
In 1895 an Assistant Conservator in direct charge of the Gouna and Main Forests was appointed to assist the Conservator. On 21 April 1898 with the transfer of the Conservator to the Transkeian Conservancy, the Assistant Conservator was appointed Acting Conservator and, in February 1899, Conservator (John Phillips: The Forests of George, Knysna and the Zitzikama, p 106).
As from 1 April 1932 when the Department of Forestry was reorganised, several forestal districts such as George, Concordia and Storms River, which had fallen under the control of the Conservator of Forests, Midland Conservancy, Knysna, were established as fully-fledged conservancies (Annexures to Votes and Proceedings of the House of Assembly, UG 37 – 1932, p 6).
