The Dryandra Woodland is a nature conservation area in Western Australia within the Shires of Cuballing, Williams and Wandering, about 164 kilometres (102 mi) south-east of Perth and 22 kilometres (14 mi) north-west of the town of Narrogin. It is a complex of 17 distinct blocks managed by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation and spread over approximately 50 kilometres (30 mi) separated by areas of agricultural land. The area is considered to be one of the state’s major conservation areas, and although it is far from pristine due to its history of logging operations, a number of species of threatened fauna are rebuilding populations through the removal of introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats.The combined area of the Woodland is 28,066 hectares (108.36 mi²), with individual blocks ranging in size from 87 hectares (0.34 mi²) to 12,283 hectares (47.43 mi²). Part of Dryandra Woodland is listed on the Register of the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Council.In addition to the area’s use as a wildlife refuge, it has anthropological significance with the indigenous Noongar people having strong cultural links there.
