Why is it so important for us to plant the food source and shelter for native birds and other species:

OUR OBJECTIVES:
1. To rehabilitate a section of a 100 acre property with approx. 1,000 suitable plants for the Black Cockatoos in the South West of WA (Boyup Brook situated on the Blackwood River).
2. To rehabilitate land and potentially reduce salinity.
3. Provide food and shelter for the Black Cockatoos.
4. Encourage dialogue and positive involvement by the local community and the view that others in the area may follow suit with Tree Plantings too.
