            [history] => 

	The Wellington Conservancy was commonly referred to as the Palmerston North Conservancy.

	

	All offices (at all levels) of the New Zealand Forest Service (AADY and F Record Group), employed a national multiple number subject record keeping system (although there are instances where, for reasons unknown, a particular office has used a different file series number prefix to the national one).

	

	In addition to this series, other fully serialised transfers to National Archives of multiple number subject files in this national system are listed:

	

		828 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Head Office] c.1926-87
	

		1124 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Auckland Conservancy Office] 1921-1982
	

		6904 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Wanganui District Office] 1961-1987
	

		6906 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Turangi District Office] 1922-1986
	

		6907 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Bulls District Office] 1951-1985
	

		6908 Multiple Number Subject Files [NZ Forest Service, Masterton District Office] 1921-1984


	However as not all transfers have been fully serialised, please also refer to the agency document of the New Zealand Forest Service and all of its successor and controlled agencies for lists of accessions of records in these series.

	Forest Service Restructuring

	The New Zealand Forest Service (AADY) was disestablished under the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986 and its functions were transferred to three agencies from 1 April 1987:

	

		Department of Conservation (AANS) was given responsibility for native forests and scrublands
	

		New Zealand Timberlands (ABHR) - state exotic forests 
	

		Ministry of Forestry - advisory services (AAQA).


	New Zealand Timberlands Limited (ABHR) was the forest growing subsidiary of the state owned enterprise New Zealand Forestry Corporation/Crown Forestry Management (ABAA).

	The New Zealand Forest Service Residual Management Unit (AANI) was responsible for winding up any business that was not transferred to the successor agencies of the New Zealand Forest Service.

	New Zealand Forest Service records were dispersed to many agencies - public and private as well as being transferred to Archives New Zealand. Conservancy records held by New Zealand Timberlands Ltd Hawke's Bay District Office, were transferred to Archives New Zealand (Accession W3648) whilst other Conservancy files in Timberlands control were also transferred to Carter Holt Harvey Forests, Land Corporation Limited (AAMX), Ministry of Forestry (AAQA), and Department of Conservation (AANS). It is not clear if the records at the Conservancy levels were transferred to the Head Office or Regional levels of each of these organisations.

	Related Accessions

	Accession W3648 has not been serialised - it includes multiple number subject files and unregistered files from the Napier and Wanganui District Offices and forest station records. The Wanganui District Office was under the control of the Wellington Conservancy.

	Records in Accession W5194 were transferred from Archives New Zealand Auckland Regional from their Accession (A1427) because Archives New Zealand Wellington Office is responsible for the arrangement and description of records originating in the Wellington region. The records are part of a transfer from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests' Regional office in Rotorua (BBQI).

	One file from this series was later incorporated into series 8030. This material was transferred by Crown Forestry Management (ABAA) as part of accession W5238.

	W5683 and W5717

	Accessions W5683 and W5717, which from 1987 until 2010 were controlled by the Wanganui Conservancy, include records held (and in some cases created) by various sub/area/ /district offices within the Wellington NZ Forest Service region (i.e. New Plymouth, Taumaranui and Statford).
