Gumnuts for Zanda Project is a small effort to combat the ongoing clearing of black cockatoo habitat in the Perth Environs. Loss of roosting and food trees is the cause of declining populations of Carnaby’s, Baudin’s and Forest Red Tail black cockatoos; all of whom are threatened with extinction. Funded by the National Resource Management (NRM) 2 hectares of previous disused orchard was cleared, fenced and tilled to provide excellent planting conditions for native seedlings. This July, over 3000 black cockatoo food plants were planted by over 100 volunteers of all ages. Seedlings were generously supplied by sponsors including Fifteen Trees. In 20 years, these seedlings will have matured into food and roosting habitat, contributing to the survival of these magnificent birds.
