At least 8 pairs of Glossy Black-Cockatoos were
seen in Rob Roy Nature Reserve by one of the rangers last Friday 13th.
To help create habitat for this species, a couple
of thousand Allocasuarina verticillata were planted today on
Isaacs Ridge. Another casuarina planting will be held for World Environment
Day, Sunday 5 June, on Tuggeranong Hill - not far as the cocky flies from Rob
Roy. If you are interested in doing something constructive for the
GBC, read on....
Planting
on Tuggeranong Hill
What
and Why? Help
ACT Parks and Conservation
Service and Greening Australia plant 2,500 Allocasuarina verticillata in the eastern
section of Tuggeranong Hill Nature Reserve to provide food for Glossy
Black-Cockatoos. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo is declared as vulnerable to the
threat of extinction in the ACT and depends on the availability of seed from
these trees to survive.

Environment Day), 9:30am to 12:30pm followed by
lunch
Where?
Eastern section of
Tuggeranong Hill Nature Reserve. Parking will be off Callister Crescent
Theodore. Look for Greening Australia signs

sunscreen, long sleeves, gardening gloves, long pants, sturdy boots, and water
bottle. Holes will be pre-dug but there will be some digging still required
