Tree planting to support Carnaby's Black Cockatoos

The City is partnering with The University of Western Australia (UWA) to help protect one of WA’s most iconic endangered species, the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, from extinction.

Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos are found only in the south-west of WA, with populations declining due to loss of habitat and food sources.

As part of the Corridors for Carnaby’s program – spearheaded by renowned botanist and UWA Professor Kinglsey Dixon AO – the City will plant 200 macadamia trees to provide additional food sources for local Carnaby’s flocks.

During September, the City will be planting at the following parks:
