A biological survey revealed a diverse flora and fauna not well represented in existing nature conservation reserves. Five vegetation formations, 2 combinations of formations and 2 complexes were mapped. Of particular importance were scrub heath areas with a rich and diverse flora including many elements typical of the adjacent wheatbelt sandplains, and areas of Salmon Gum and York Gum woodland. The vertebrate fauna included 15 indigenous and 6 introduced mammal, 60 bird, 29 reptile and one frog species. Of particular importance were species now uncommon or of restricted distribution in the wheatbelt. The declaration of the White Well area as a nature reserve would add significantly to nature conservation in Western Australia.
