Flora: There are many significant flora species within Murray including; large jarrah trees (Eucalyptus Marginata), flooded gum (Eucalyptus Rudis), and the threatened tall donkey orchid (Diuris drummondii Lindl.) The Pinjarra Area contains a plethora of threatened ecological communities, such as the Woodlands and shrublands dominated by marri (Corymbia calophylla) and balga and (Xanthorrhoea preissii). Fauna: The Murray region is home to the vulnerable and endangered Baudin's, Carnaby’s and the Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. Pinjarra's significant flora include the critically endangered western ringtail possum and the vulnerable mainland quokka species.

Within the Pinjarra Region there are numerous threatened ecological communities including the "Claypans of the Swan Coastal Plain". This diverse community exists where clay forms an impermeable layer close to the surface. The Pinjarra landscape, distinctive of the Swan Coastal Plain wetlands, consists of coastal salt-marshes and is influenced by intermittent tidal influence. The area is geologically significant because it forms the transition between the ancient Yilgarn Craton and the more recent coastal plain sediments.

Aboriginal: In 1830, settler Thomas Peel was granted a large area of land in what is now the Peel Region, including Pinjarra. As colonists established farms along the Murray River, the Bindjareb Nyungar people were displaced from their land and vital food sources. To survive, they took crops and speared livestock. Settlers misinterpreted firestick farming practices as deliberate sabotage. In April 1834, after Bindjareb men raided a flour mill in South Perth, three Aboriginal men—one being their leader Gcalyut—were flogged. In response, the Bindjareb plotted revenge and killed settler Hugh Nesbitt. On 28 October 1834, Governor James Stirling led 25 armed colonists, including soldiers and mounted police, to a Bindjareb camp near present-day McLarty Road. They opened fire on the unarmed group, killing between 15 and 80 Bindjareb people. The police superintendent was fatally speared. This became known as the Pinjarra Massacre, a tragic event in Noongar history.
