The Forest of Memories is a very special place - its mature trees, walking tracks and superb vistas make it a great place to visit and to enjoy.

It is a Waipukurau Rotary Club project.  Sited at the base of Pukeora Hill, in Waipukurau Hawkes Bay the arboretum was created in 1993 as a place for trees and memories. 

Read our story, search the memorials database and take a wander through the park along the many tracks. Contact the Arboretum custodians for details about planting a tree in the memory of "loved ones".  Visit the park off Pukeora Scenic Road west of Waipukurau town.
