Land clearing and the spread of salinity have devastated much of this region, making the remaining bushland exceptionally important for species such as the nationally vulnerable Malleefowl. Eurardy is also home to the endangered Small-petalled Beyeria – a plant presumed extinct until rediscovered in 2005. These significant species and communities are also found:

Animals: Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, Spinifex Hopping-mouse, Hairy-footed Dunnart, Ash-grey mouse.

Plants: Northern Dwarf Spider-orchid, Feather-flowers, Kalbarri Spider-orchid, Beard's mallee, Wreath flower.

Vegetation communities: York gum woodland, Scrub-heath, Shrublands of acacia, casuarina, Eucalyptus eudesmoides (mallalie), Ashby's banksia and other species, Sceptre banksia and sandplain cypress woodland, Acacia rostellifera (summer-scented wattle) thicket.

When the big reds and yellows of Eurardy Reserve come out to play, they draw an abundance of local birds and insects.

The big reds are Feather-flowers, Claw-flowers and Grevilleas, and when in bloom they cast flushes of palest coral, rosy red and vivid scarlet across the landscape.

The big yellows are Acacias and ground-hugging Everlastings, which stand in gorgeous contrast to the blue sky above. 

And that's just the beginning – with flowers in pinks, purples, blues and whites all adding to the heady mix. No wonder Eurardy is one of the most outstanding wildflower destinations along WA's Batavia Coast.

In 2003 the Wildflower Society of Western Australia began to help with surveys on the reserve, which they continue to contribute to today. On their first survey 481 native plant species were identified, and many were pressed and mounted in a field herbarium that's now regularly updated.
