August Mininnup – Tuart Forest National Park

Join Bronwyn Mutton from the Capel Land Conservation District Committee (CLCDC) for a guided visit to Mininnup Tuart Forest National Park. Discover the success of local conservation efforts, including the Mininnup Protection Fence, which has enabled remarkable regeneration of native flora—over 100 species, including orchids and Banksias—and supports vital habitats for birds, possums, and bandicoots.

This area, part of a Threatened Ecological Community, has become a living example of how fencing and protection from grazing can revive and sustain native ecosystems.
