Gidgegannup Info

Gidge Reserve, or Reserve 2145, is situated on the Perth side of the village where the fire shed and Percy Cullen oval are. It is just one of over 1,000 nature reserves that exist in Western Australia. All have been set aside especially for the conservation of flora and fauna.

In nature reserves we, the people, are guardians, not exploiters. Western Australian flora and fauna are sources of enormous interest and contribute a great deal to the aesthetic qualities of our Western Australian environment. Nature conservation through reserves is well worthwhile, but without appreciation of their beauty, variety and intricate interdependencies, one whole side of the value of nature reserves is lost. Without appreciation they just become tracks of unnamed land.
