Members recently explored Wattening Nature Reserve, an area in the Phillips Sandplain Catchment of Toodyay Shire, notable for its freshwater springs. Despite its small size, the reserve boasts significant biodiversity and historical importance, having been utilised by Noongar people for thousands of years and documented by early European explorers and naturalists.
Over the weekend of the 5th September this year, we will be conducting a BioBlitz in Julimar State Forest. A BioBlitz is a snapshot in time, looking at the biodiversity of an area, recording what is seen and found during a specified, short period of time, usually over a weekend.
If you are an expert keen to offer your skills as a leader, or maybe you are a nature enthusiast, a citizen scientist or just interested in how a BioBlitz works – we would love to hear from you.

This guide is the work of the members of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club Inc. It is a commemorative publication with member contributions celebrating fifty years from foundation (1968 to 2018).
The Club’s previous publication on this subject ‘The Avon Valley: a Naturalists’ View’’, published in 1986, provided a comprehensive list of one Toodyay reserve; it also covered other reserves in the Avon Valley. This publication is confined to the Shire of Toodyay.
In compiling this guide, members of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club Inc. acknowledge the first inhabitants, the Ballardong People, as carers of a unique and biological diverse landscape. Additionally, they reference many of the contemporary works available that cover the Shire of Toodyay. The guide also provides links to further reading about the flora and fauna of the region. a brief description appears on the rear cover.
