Come and explore Pemberton, wander through our magnificent karri forests, discover waterfalls, rivers and wetlands, and experience the incredible diversity of the South West for yourself.

WA Parks Foundation story - Hidden treasures of the south west: protecting WA’s peatlands.

Tucked among the forests, heathlands and granite peaks of Western Australia’s south west are some of the state’s most remarkable ecosystems. Known as Empodisma peatlands, these ancient wetlands have quietly stored carbon, filtered water and provided a home for wildlife for thousands of years.

Although they cover only small pockets of the landscape, these peatlands play an important role in protecting biodiversity and helping regulate our climate. They are built by Empodisma gracillimum, or tanglefoot, a sedge-like plant that traps organic matter in permanently wet soils. Over time, this creates deep layers of peat that act like natural sponges, storing water and locking away carbon.
