Arc Infrastructure is a rail link company and manager of the Western Australian state’s rail freight network. Operating and maintaining a railway stretching beyond five thousand kilometres across Western Australia, their company catchphrase is ‘Together We Go Beyond’.

They have certainly done just that by purchasing and planting 500 trees with Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation.

Kaarakin is situated on a 41 acre bushland site of a former wildlife park and is surrounded by the picturesque and tranquil Banyowla Regional Park. Run by super incredible humans, they rescue wild black cockatoos in distress, be it from road accident, animal attacks, human interaction etc, and rehabilitate them prior to releasing them back to their natural wild habitat, when safe to do so.

Over the past 12 years we have restored much of the site and surrounding regional park with overstory species such as marri and jarrah trees, food for black cockatoos. 

With the help of Arc Infrastructure we planted over 500 low to mid story species through some more sparse areas of our site with already established overstory. This will help create a wildlife corridor through our site for our small marsupials and reptiles who frequent the area. We were also able to plant some more substantial tree species in some other areas of the site which were more degraded. 

We managed to reach our goal thanks to hard work and enthusiasm by all to plant, bag and water in over 500 plants! 

Thanks to everyone who came!

In 2019 we ran our own Pozible campaign to help these majestic creatures. You can read the great results HERE, and we often think how those trees and birds are now going.

I wanted to say how much we appreciate you both facilitating Arc plant vegetation at the Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre team.

Our volunteers had a fantastic day and were definitely the envy of their colleagues with their photos from the site.

Cheers again for looking after our people, educating them about conservation and helping them to revegetate the land.
