This tuart forest has been recognised as having high conservation value as there are few such good examples left in the Metropolitan Region.
This stand of tuart trees on the banks of Brownman's Swamp is one of a few remaining substantial stands of tuart trees in the district.
Brownman's Swamp was named after Peter Brown, the first Colonial Secretary of Western Australia. It has on its banks an extensive open forest of good quality tuart trees. In the early days when water supplies were scarce the tuart trees were important indicators to the settlers owing to the saying 'wherever a tuart grows, good water abounds below'.
