Friends of Wail Arboretum Inc.
Wail Arboretum is situated in the Wail State Forest and is only three kilometres from the Western Highway between Melbourne and Adelaide. A sealed road links the Highway and the Arboretum. The closest towns are Horsham (25 kilometres to the south) and Dimboola (9 kilometres to the north). The 10 hectare Arboretum surrounds Wail Nursery and Little Desert National Park Office. Over 120 bird species have been recorded at the Arboretum. The Arboretum is home to many of our local reptiles and mammals. The Arboretum features numerous mature tree specimens that are labelled with their botanical names. This allows visitors to assess the value and full potential of many native plant species. Another of the many highlights is the Ted Brown Dryland Garden with low-water-use plants for rural and urban plantings and for traditional and novel usage. The Arboretum has walking tracks with wheel chair access. Other features are the Rare & Endangered Species Section and the Native Grassland Demonstration Plot. A nature trail commences nearby in the Wail State Forest.
