Landscape

 
The reserve straddles the Chereninup Creek just north of its junction with the Corackerup Creek. Both creeks eventually join the Pallinup River. The reserve is gently undulating, with approximately 60 ha that has been previously cleared for agriculture. This cleared land was revegetated in 2003 and the plantings have been very successful.

Chereninup Creek Reserve is significant in its own right as well as contributing to a larger conservation initiative, the Gondwana Link project. Gondwana Link  is reconnecting remnant bushland between the Stirling Range and Fitgerald River national parks creating an unbroken corridor of protected bush across the South West.

Bush Heritage is one of six partners in Gondwana Link, the others being: the Fitzgerald Biosphere Group; Friends of the Fitzgerald River National Park; Greening Australia (WA); the Malleefowl Preservation Group; and The Wilderness Society.
