Village Tree Trail

Have you discovered the Village Tree Trail? Grab your map, then take a stroll to learn about some of our key tree species!

A weeping beauty

These gracefully leaved trees are a common sight around the suburbs of Perth, but they are also native to the area.

Once known as prime possum habitat, they have a uniquely wavy stem that makes them easy to identify.

Here in the Park, they are less common in our bushland areas, but easy to find in the Village - just head to the Tractor Museum, where they offer a shady spot to sit on the east side of the entrance!
