Bob Berry and Eastwoodhill
The contacts between Bob Berry and William Douglas Cook, that date back to 1953 played an important role in the development of the collection of Hackfalls Arboretum. Douglas Cook was the founder of Eastwoodhill Arboretum (Ngatapa, Gisborne) and offered advice and made suggestions concerning Hackfalls. In turn, Bob started preparing the first catalogue of Eastwoodhill after Douglas Cook's death. Bob bought a typewriter to produce it. It was published in 1972. It contained almost 3000 different taxa. Updating the catalogue of Eastwoodhill remained Bob's task until 1986.
