Walk in Craigie Bushland

What predator proof fencing can do for your bushland! 

 Join us to explore regionally significant Bush Forever Site 303 and observe first-hand the positive effect on natural areas of excluding foxes, cats and dogs and re-introducing native animals.  This is the City of Joondalup’s major conservation area. It was historically degraded by European farming, waste dumping and predators.

It now has 56 ha of predator proof fencing, is a quenda stronghold and has areas of excellent biodiversity, intact canopy and ideal leaf litter levels.  Read more on our website.  

Find out why this bushland was more resilient to the ‘long hot dry of Autumn 2024’ that impacted neighbouring bushlands and the South West of WA.  What can we learn as we advocate for our own local patches of neighbourhood nature? 

Special thanks to generous community conservation guru David Pike for assistance in guiding this walk. 

Learn the value of inviting your elected members (local/state/federal) to view both Craigie Bushland as well as your local patches. With Local Government Elections coming up (18/10/2025) – invite candidates too!!
