Craigie Bushland
Craigie Bushland is located approximately 19km north of the Perth CBD in the suburb of Craigie. The reserve covers 56 hectares of bushland, containing a permanent fenced area of 42ha. It is very scenic with very tall Tuart trees presiding over lower levels of vegetation.
Craigie Bushland is classified as a City of Joondalup Major Conservation Area and is ranked in the City’s top five bushland areas, due to its high biodiversity values. Craigie Bushland contains regionally significant vegetation and is recognised for its regional environmental significance as a Bush Forever site; site 303.
The Bushland contains three main vegetation communities; Banksia woodland with Tuart, Open Marri Forrest and tall open shrubland. The majority of the vegetation is in very good to good condition, with portions of the vegetation also rated as being in excellent condition.
Craigie Bushland is a Quenda stronghold. The fenced area was established in 2010 and in 2013 Quenda were first trans-located there from Ellen Brook Nature Reserve in Upper Swan and the Twin Swamps Nature Reserve in Bullsbrook.
