Mission

Our mission is to develop and exhibit a collection of diverse plant species that contributes to the conservation of global diversity and creates a unique environment for the appreciation of life. We act as a worldwide Arboreal Ark.

What we Do

Eastwoodhill Arboretum is the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees in the Southern Hemisphere, encompassing an area of 135 hectares. There is a distinct need for repositories of species for study and protection. Eastwoodhill is rare among the world’s botanic and arboreal institutions in its ability to host plants from the northern hemisphere in relative isolation. This unique characteristic combined with New Zealand’s stringent biosecurity regulations makes the Arboretum an ideal environment for the cultivation of threatened species.
