Description
Part of the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar site, Len Howard Conservation Park is a three km long nature strip sandwiched between suburbia and the Mandurah Estuary that is an important refuge for the flora and fauna that call this area home.
A trail through the length of the Reserve provides easy going through scrub woodland with some mature Tuarts, as well as reed beds adjacant to the estuary. A good selection of the metro's bushbirds and waterfowl can be observed here.
For an extensive description of this location refer to the Life of Py link.
