Sherwood Arboretum, Heritage-listed arboretum in Sherwood, Australia.
The 15-hectare Sherwood Arboretum contains 1100 trees representing 250 species, with a grand avenue of 72 Queensland kauri pines along Sir Matthew Nathan Avenue.
The arboretum opened on World Forestry Day in March 1925 as a response to concerns about the depletion of Queensland's forests and commercial timber resources.
The site demonstrates the evolution of public parks from formal Edwardian layouts to natural ecosystem designs, reflecting changing attitudes toward environmental conservation.
Visitors can access facilities including parking areas, children's playgrounds, picnic spots, barbecues, water taps, and a riverside boardwalk within the grounds.
The arboretum serves as a habitat for 124 bird species and maintains a collection of rare Queensland native trees, including Burdekin plum and Davidson plum.
