20 Million Trees - Planting project at Wirrina Cove
Conservation Volunteers Australia - AdelaideMuch of this habitat was lost due to clearing of Woodland on the Fleurieu Peninsula in the 1900's, which has restricted the SA population of the Glossy Black Cockatoo to Kangaroo Island.
This community focused project will enhance fragmented habitat by planting 25,000 trees such as Drooping Sheoak, SA Blue Gum and Pink Gum. This project will expand viable foraging and nesting sites 17kms north from the small pockets of vegetation that currently exist; which will allow the Glossy Black Cockatoo to cross back to the mainland and establish populations on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to meet on-site if that is easier for you, but please contact the office so we can confirm the exact meeting location and time.
