Pengilly Scrub (Mudla Wirra Reserve)
Facility type: Park
The Pengilly Scrub is a 20 hectare patch of remnant mallee vegetation, which is situated south of the town of Wasleys. This reserve is an open woodland system and has two North West to South East tending sand dunes, which are separated by a flatter inter-dunal zone. This variety of soil types and land forms provides a complex mosaic of native vegetation and is important habitat to a variety of native fauna.
The management of the reserve is assisted via volunteers under the auspices of the Trees for Life Bushcare Program. The reserve is home to over 80 terrestrial plant species together with numerous species of native birds, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates.
