SELF-GUIDED TRAIL 3
Kings Park Tree Trail

Celebrating urban champions of the present and future.

Join us in admiring and understanding more about a selection of our incredible Western Australian tree species on this special tree trail. By safeguarding and planting native trees we’re working towards strengthening and improving our important urban canopy. This creates a cooler environment, provides habitat and food for fauna and shade and shelter for all.

SELF-GUIDED TRAIL 4
Biosecurity Trail

Our Botanic Garden Biosecurity Trail was developed in partnership with the Dieback Working Group and is running in conjunction with DPIRD’s Biosecurity Blitz.

This short trail starts from just past the Gija Jumulu (Giant Boab) and ends at the Chamelaucium and Anigozanthos Garden, highlighting some of the main biodiversity threats to WA flora. Scan the QR codes along the way to learn the simple steps you can take to combat common threats.

As well as keeping an eye out whilst exploring our beautiful State, you can also be a disease detective in your own backyard and help to keep our environment safe from pests by reporting anything you find through the MyPestGuide® Reporter app or online portal.  

Please note there is no map for the Biosecurity Trail.
