History
[edit]Shadforth and the Shire of Denmark, according to the shire's website, are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Mineng people of the Noongar nation.[4] The Mineng's traditional lands cover the majority of the shire while the Bibulman's traditional lands are to the west and, according to other sources, do not extend into the Shire of Denmark.[5][6][7]
Nature reserve
[edit]The Mount Shadforth Nature Reserve was gazetted on 27 July 1923, has a size of 0.84 square kilometres (0.32 sq mi), and is located within the Warren bioregion.[8] The nature reserve is listed on the shire's heritage register and is the only area of karri forest in the shire not to have been logged.[9]
