H.E. Hart Arboretum

The Hart Arboretum in Lake Coleridge Village was created by Harry Hart, Superintendent at the Lake Coleridge Power Station from 1923 to 1953. Over several decades he planted the 2 ha area with many of the world's conifers.

Today the Arboretum is jointly managed by the Central Canterbury Farm Forestry Association Arboretum Trust, Selwyn District Council and Trustpower who owns the land, with much of the maintenance and development done by local volunteers.
