History
Due to Canterbury's lack of native forest, in the early 1900s the government planted exotic forests throughout North Canterbury, including Eyrewell Forest. On 1 August 1975, however, most of the forest was blown over by strong north-westerly winds.
Climate
The average temperature in summer is 16.2 °C, and in winter is 5.9 °C.
