Thomas Fielding, Head Teacher of Sherwood State School from 1914 to 1927, takes a stroll with family members along the Arboretum’s Kauri Avenue in the 1930s. On the 21 August 1925, 100 students from Sherwood State School each planted a tree in the Arboretum. Community support for Sherwood Arboretum had begun. (courtesy of Thomas Fielding’s grandchildren)
