New Zealand Plants Timeline
Edited by Larry Jensen and Brian Marshall
This timeline gives New Zealand history from the perspective of a botanist. It is the story of exploration and discovery, of the important events that shaped settlement and the development of plant-based industries, of milestones in botanical research and of the development of public awareness of the value of our natural resources. Please choose a time period of interest from the menu on the left. Your critique of entries as well as suggestions for additions and improvements is solicited. Please send comments to: Dr. L. Jensen, School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
