Acclimatisation societies in New Zealand

A roadside memorial erected in 1971 commemorating the centenary of the release of red deer by the Otago Acclimatisation Society.

Acclimatisation societies were established in New Zealand by European colonists from the 1860s, with the first likely having been established in Auckland around 1861.^[1]
