Founded in 1958, this pinetum is a lifetime of work by farmer and tree-enthusiast Rawhiti “Ian” McKean. The collection includes more than 300 species of native and exotic conifers from around the world including 90 of the 110 recognised pine, and is planted across 14 hectares of rugged hill-country land on the McKean family farm. Today, it is part of Queen Elizabeth II Trust and open for everyone to enjoy.
