Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: This paper explores the extent of the structure and processes of social capital in a New Zealand rural context. In 2002, the ongoing decline of indigenous timber forestry finally came to an end for the West Coast region on New Zealand’s south island with the complete cessation of logging of indigenous species. For two small communities living on the Coast, this closure marked the end to an unbroken sequence of forestry dependence that spanned the previous 100 years. Many families within these communities have been challenged with negotiating the effects of such industry decline. This study goes beyond a basic description of community composition and civic participation to explore the relationships between families and communities in order to understand how families both draw upon and contribute to shared social capital. In particular we are interested in exploring the degree to which social networks, civic participation, voluntary engagements and various other formal and informal arrangements contribute to the wellbeing of rural families.
