  • Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852
    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

ISSN 1171-9834 2000 Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 10-420, Wellington, New Zealand Reference to material in this report should be cited thus: Beveridge, A.E.; Smale, M.C.; Holzapfel, A.S., 2000. Ecology and management of Pureora Forest Park. Conservation Advisory Science Notes No. 252, Department of Conservation, Wellington. Keywords: forest ecology, park management, Pureora Forest Park, bibliography. Introduction This is not an exhaustive bibliography but the 277 papers comprise all the published and unpublished items relevant to the Park that could be located over a 12 month period. The original terms of reference from the Department of Conservation stated that the bibliography should deal with flora and fauna values and pest man- agement in the park. The scope has been somewhat broadened to encompass ecological values and management in the broadest sense, including descrip- tive material, research papers, forest history, management plans and the resto- ration of forest condition and wildlife following direct or indirect human im- pact (especially from the introduction of browsing animals and predators). The period covered is 1950-1999. Pureora (State) Forest Park was formed in 1978 after a New Zealand Forest Service seminar held in Taupo to consider management proposals for the Rangitoto/Hauhungaroa Ranges.
