Publications

Sharing knowledge through publications

Have you ever wondered how this precious bushland survived in the middle of suburbia? With the support of the Town of Victoria Park, our first publication in 2023 tells this story accompanied by some of the best shots by our generous photographers.

Since then we have published a book for bird watchers and a number of brochures.

We will continue to publish information for people who want to know more the flora and fauna of the Jirdarup urban bushland.

Research & Citizen Science

Building the science base

From studies of the Swan Coastal Plain, to surveys undertaken specifically in Jirdarup, to simple messages about new discoveries, our knowledge base continues to expand. It is through the informal channels that we know purple enamel orchids and quenda have been seen in our bushland.

We encourage students to tell us about their research where it is relevant to this area.

Please help us continue to add to our knowledge base.
