About the event
Immerse yourself in the natural splendour of the WA Tree Festival by discovering our enchanting Bibra Lake Tree Hunt Trail. Nestled within the lush bushland on the east side of Bibra Lake, this trail showcases a stunning variety of native trees, highlighting the beautiful diversity flora of the southwest of our state.
Embark on a leisurely journey by foot around the limestone path of the trail, which now includes a captivating scavenger hunt for trees! Engage with nature and learn the Nyungar names of our local trees as you traverse this scenic path. Participate in the Bibra Lake Tree Hunt below to deepen your connection with nature and discover the hidden wonders of the trail.
This unique trail is open for exploration from 6 April to 5 May.

About the WA Tree Festival
Trees are essential in a warming climate – they cool us down, provide habitat for wildlife, and improve our health and wellbeing.
The WA Tree Festival brings local councils and community groups together across WA to help share the value of trees collectively. From highlighting the importance of trees to cooling our suburbs, to daily connections to nature, and the often-invisible benefits trees provide, to understanding issues around tree canopy loss, climate change, and how you can help – find an activity near you.
Festival runs 6 April – 5 May.
