Yes, this has its origins in getting the Glossy Black Cockatoo
listed as a threatened species in the ACT, as re-vegetation of casuarina is one
of the key recommended actions. At the time the Glossy was under
consideration for listing, I took the opportunity at a Roundtable meeting
with the former Chief Minister (Jon Stanhope) where a program of
restoration plantings was discussed to push the case for the
Glossies. The Arboretum subsequently picked this up also and has
planted a block of the casuarina. This has also been a
very good public awareness raising initiative. The paper
nominating the Glossy is expected to be published in the next
Canberra Bird Notes.
