Julimar Conservation & Forest Alliance

Working to ensure the conservation of Julimar Forest for all to enjoy for years to come.

The Forest's 28,600 hectares contain at least 20 vegetation communities.

It provides vital habitat for 110 recorded species of birds, 35 species of mammals, and an estimated 350 species of invertebrates.

It contributes to the conservation of vulnerable species such as the Black-gloved Wallaby, Woylie and Chuditch.

Large numbers of endangered Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo use the many nesting hollows on an annual basis.

Julimar Forest needs National Park Status

For over 30 years, Julimar Forest has been recognised as an area of high conservation value for its flora and fauna biodiversity and habitat value. This is still considered the case today.

National Park status would provide legislative protection for Julimar Forest’s ecological value and recreational use.

It would allow planned and respectful use of the Forest whilst minimising the destruction and degradation caused by its diverse users.
