    The Sequoiafarm Kaldenkirchen is a 35,635 m² (≈ 3.6 hectare) arboretum in the Kaldenkirchener Grenzwald in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Nettetal. The first systematic cultivation of all three species of sequoia in Europe took place here in the middle of the 20th century. The site was used by universities and as a biological station for several years and has belonged to the non-profit organization "Sequoiafarm" since 2013.

      Over the years, the park - now known as the Sequoia Farm - was constantly expanded, making it a much-acclaimed arboretum that, by 1967, had more than 600 types of woody shrubs with a varied soil flora and became an attraction of the Maas-Schwalm Nature Park. Nice became. Since the area had long been neglected, today only about 400 types of woodland are preserved.

        The Sequoiafarm is only open on Sundays and public holidays. It is home to mountain, coastal and ancient sequoias, the seeds of which were imported from California in 1950 and planted here two years later. The trees are now almost 70 years old and almost 40 meters high. In terms of size, they cannot yet keep up with their 200-year-old cousins in America, but their soft bark and imposing growth are worth a trip. There are also several seating areas in the arboretum and around 400 other rare wood species.
