Churchlands Bushland

The 'Churchlands Bushland' sits on the north-west border of the Churchlands Green residential estate. This bushland is bordered by Empire Avenue, University Avenue, Coneflower Corner, and Prionotes Corner. Dolomite Court and the eastern border of Newman College form the remaining boundaries.

This small native forest is approximately 5 hectares in area. It forms a key ecological linkage between the neighbouring bush areas of Herdsman Lake and Bold Park.

The Churchlands Bushland tree canopy is dominated by mature trees including a 400-year old jarrah tree. These trees provide habitat for many native birds including the endangered Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo and Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos.

Save Churchlands Bushland is a community-driven volunteer group dedicated to raising awareness about the threats posed to the Churchlands bushland by a proposed road project.

Their vision is for the Churchlands Bushland to be protected as an A class reserve, for the benefit of the planet, the wildlife, and the community.
