About this location
The Arboretum was established on 5.5 hectares of Council Land by the Pearl Beach Community in 1976. It is a sanctuary for rare and threatened plant and animals. An arboretum ("arr-bore-eetum") is a botanical garden devoted to growing plants for conservation, research and education
The Arboretum is named after Minard Crommelin who fought for conservation in NSW all her life and who made Pearl Beach her home from 1942 until her death in 1972.
You may be lucky enough to see some of our animals and birds. They include lyrebirds, bowerbirds, fairy wrens, tawny frogmouths, kookaburras, bandicoots, goannas, water dragons, swamp wallabies and echidnas. We have over 50 threatened species, bush tucker plants, koala trees (sadly no koalas since the 1990s but we live in hope). We also promote native bee habitat.
