Lyon Arboretum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lyon Arboretum is a 200-acre (0.8 km²) botanical garden managed by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa located at the upper end of Mānoa Valley in Hawaiʻi. The Arboretum is open to the public on weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM; admission is free.

Much of the Arboretum's botanical collection consists of an artificial lowland tropical rainforest with numerous trails and small water features.

[edit] Short history

The Arboretum was established in 1918 by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association to demonstrate watershed restoration and test various tree species for reforestation, as well as collect living plants of economic value. In 1953, it became part of the University of Hawaiʻi. Its over 15,000 accessions focus primarily on the monocot families of palms, gingers, heliconias, bromeliads, and aroids.

Today, the Arboretum continues to develop its extensive tropical plant collection, while emphasizing native Hawaiian plants, such as Pritchardia spp. (palms). Native and Polynesian cultivated and wild species are displayed in the ethnobotanical, native ecosystems, and Hawaiian sections of the gardens. The Lyon Arboretum also maintains an active seed bank.^[1]

[edit] Background

Lyon Arboretum is adjacent to land owned by the City Water Board of Water Supply as well as State conservation land and the site of the former Paradise Park. Paradise Park, formerly a theme park home to trained bird shows and the Treetops Restaurant, is frequently confused with Lyon Arboretum, but these are separate entities. The old Paradise Park parcel has been considered for purchase by the state for the University of Hawaii (ref), but a deal has not yet been completed.
