Bush Forever Site 387 – Greater Brixton Street Wetlands, Kenwick. Meet at end of Alton Street,  Kenwick 830 for 9am start

While the wetlands only cover 19 hectares, they contain many different vegetated wetlands with fringing vegetation in or near to the original condition, support an outstanding flora diversity with at least 518 native taxa and comprising a third of the taxa recorded on the Swan Coastal Plain.  This includes many plant communities that are rare or endangered and in need of species protection. This protected area/bushland management boundary of bushland within the boundaries of the Site are not accurately mapped. Areas of bushland within the boundaries of the Site have been recently cleared.

The Wetlands support over 80 special wildflowers that are either rare and endangered; or have only recently been discovered by botanists; or are uncommon on the Swan Coastal Plain. They are also habitat for the Quenda (Southern Brown Bandicoot), waterbirds and many native terrestrial and aquatic animals as well as for endangered Carnaby’s Black Cocktoos.
