Revegetating habitat is an incredible way to support Australia’s unique wildlife.
Recently, NACC NRM held a community planting day at Eneabba Springs where 20 keen community members rolled up their sleeves to help restore local habitat and support the future of the endangered Carnaby’s Cockatoo!
Carnaby’s Cockatoos are endangered and found only in Western Australia, making the protection, preservation, and restoration of their habitat crucial to their survival. Their population has declined over time as a result of habitat degradation from past land clearing, collisions with infrastructure and the growing impacts of a rapidly changing climate. These pressures have reduced the availability of suitable nesting hollows and affected the food trees the cockatoos rely on. Revegetation projects like this help raise awareness, strengthen community connection, and give people a practical way to support Australia’s unique and endangered wildlife. Every seedling planted is a step towards a healthier future for Carnaby’s Cockatoos and the landscapes they call home. By the end of the day, approximately 10,000 seedlings had been planted across 10 hectares of fire-affected landscape.
A special thanks goes to Ian Pulbrook from Green Oil Nursery for guiding the planting efforts, landholder Fiona Cosgrove for getting involved, and to everyone who came along and got their hands dirty for a good cause!
This project is funded by Mitsui E&P Australia with Beach Energy.
