Visitors to BurgessWood always remark about the 'other world' peace and quiet aspects of this setting which is so close to Perth.

It is a virtual paradise for bird watchers who are able to see so many species from loons, ducks, herons, hawks, grouse and osprey to the multitude of songbirds.

Residents enjoy observing the deer and smaller wildlife that frequent the area.  This simple pleasure can be experienced by walking in the woods in the spring or fall or by cross country skiing in the winter.  Either way it is true pleasure to identify with the more stress releasing aspects of life close to nature.
