Our last Glossy Black Cockatoo planting event of this round of funding took place at Gooloogong Public School earlier this month.

Under the guidance of Kangarooby Landcare’s Ruth Workman, a willing team of students along with their teachers and parents, got stuck into some serious planting in the corner of their school’s playing field.

Glossies and known to frequent this area as they make their way in and out of the Conimbla and Nangar National Parks and with any luck, one day they will be able to take a rest and grab a bite to eat out here in the company of future students.

Together we planted about 28 plots which included some She Oaks (feed trees) plus acacia’s and Lomandra grasses. These are joined by mature she oaks, gum trees, acacias and other understory species surrounding the school.

Every little helps.
