In addition to Chuditch, Woylie, Honey Possum, and the Western Pigmy Possum, Julimar Forest’s rich and diverse vegetation offers a refuge for many species. Furthermore, it provides vital nesting and feeding habitat for Black Cockatoos.

…Of particular importance is the value of the area for a number of threatened species, including as one of only a few identified habitats for the critically endangered woylie. Julimar State Forest is also identified as one of the key habitat areas for chuditch and Carnaby’s black cockatoo, and is identified as being in largely excellent condition.

Its 28,600 hectares contain at least 20 vegetation communities including:

  • Mixed woodland of Wandoo, Powderbark Wandoo an (Ed Marri ucalyptus wandoo, Eucalyptus accedens and Corymbia calophylla).
  • A large area of mid open forest of Jarrah and Marri with several Banksia species (Eucalyptus marginata and Corymbia calophylla with Banksia sp).
  • Tall shrubland of Pingle and Roadside Tea-tree(Banksia squarrosa ssp squarrosa and Leptospermum erubescens).
  • Open heath and riparian communities.

Julimar State Forest is ecologically significant and has been recognised as a Key Biodiversity Area:

  • 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 and is a key site for the Chuditch Relocation Program.
  • Large numbers of endangered Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo use the many nesting hollows on an annual basis.
  • Over 500 wildflower species have been found in the Forest including 27 known priority species.
  • The Forest is part of the catchment of the Avon River, which becomes the Swan River which flows through Perth.

Toodyay 2015 BioBlitz Report

In 2015 a bio blitz was jointly conducted by Wheatbelt NRM and the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club. Part of this survey included  Julimar State Forest.

This report summarises findings from the event, identifies various species found during the survey, and identifies environmental management issues.
