Thomas Woltz speaks about Eastwoodhill
Eastwoodhill Arboretum was the life work of William Douglas Cook, a farmer who bought the original piece of land in 1910. He stayed 55 years before selling the property to Bill Williams.
It was later decided that Eastwoodhill should become a trust and in 1975 the Eastwoodhill Trust Act was passed, and cataloguing of the collection began.
Thomas Woltz and his firm, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, were engaged to develop a master plan to guide the arboretum into the next 100 years.
