The only window into the pre-development landscape of Thornlie, the Hume Road Wildlife Reserve encompasses wetland, Banksia woodland and Marri woodland, and is a haven for birds.

The Greater Brixton Street Wetlands are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the Swan Coastal Plain.

Located within the Gosnells Golf Course grounds, the Gosnells Golf Course Bushland is one of the City's highest priority biodiversity management sites.

Tom Bateman Reserve Bushland is considered significant among the City’s areas of high biodiversity conservation value. The regionally significant bushland is a part of Bush Forever Site 456.

The Nakaal Maya Balyan Boodjar is a seasonal wetland located between Waterperry Drive and Shreeve Road in Canning Vale. This large wetland exists in a completely urbanised catchment and is large enough to provide habitat for bandicoots and supports a substantial diversity of bird life.

A management plan prepared for the Nicholson Road Wetlands in Canning Vale by Biologic Environmental Survey in 2021 recommends revegetating 2.16 hectares of degraded parts of the land with up to 66,000 plants.
