New season for arboretum

THE Coleraine Arboretum has its best days ahead of it thanks to a local committee now managing the facility. After fixing the barbeque and doing a general clean up, they have identified the lookout – which is currently blocked by trees – as a potential project so that visitors can enjoy an excellent view of the town again.

COLERAINE'S Peter Francis Arboretum has been buzzing with activity in the few months since its committee gained the right to independently manage it.

The barbecue area is now operational after several defunct years, working bees have taken place to clean the park and the committee is now encouraging visitors to come back and enjoy the arboretum like they used to.
