The '''D. A. Murphy Panhandle Arboretum''' (40 acres) is an [[arboretum]] located at the [[University of Nebraska]] Panhandle Research and Extension Center, 4502 Avenue I, [[Scottsbluff, Nebraska]].
The Arboretum was established in 1984 as the University of Nebraska Panhandle Arboretum, and in 1985 recognized as a [[Nebraska Statewide Arboretum]] affiliate. In 1987 the Arboretum was awarded a generous endowment from local businessman D. A. Murphy's estate and renamed in his honor.
The Arboretum is a teaching and demonstration site, and features the David Nuland Ground Cover Collection, the Trails West [[Iris (plant)|Iris]] Collection, the Diana Harms [[Cottonwood]] Collection, the Panhandle [[Prairie]] Transition site, and various tree and woody plant groves.
