Mid Lachlan Landcare are pleased to announce funding for the ‘Saving our Superb Parrot’ Project 2024’: Scattered Paddock Trees or Understory Plantings.
Funding is being provided through the NSW Government’s Saving our Species (SoS) program to carry out further on-ground works aimed at protecting and restoring habitat for the Superb Parrot which is listed as vulnerable in NSW.
We are lucky in our region to be able to view this bird quite regularly. They usually arrive in Spring to breed but we are increasingly hearing of populations that are staying in and around Cowra year-round.
This project will assist landholders to plant individual guarded paddock trees across their farms to improve and restore habitat for the Superb Parrot. This year Mid Lachlan Landcare are also offering the opportunity to plant the Superb’s preferred understory species.
Mid Lachlan Landcare will provide 70% towards the cost of the mesh, star pickets and trees for this project. They can also provide up to 70% of the cost of understory tubestock and guards.
Return your expression of interest by 11th February 2024 to Tracee Burke, Mid Lachlan Landcare, PO Box 510 Cowra 2794 or email: midlachlanlandcare@gmail.com.
