Saving glossy black-cockatoos in the Southern Highlands

The glossy black-cockatoo is an icon of the NSW Southern highlands. This vulnerable species is declining in numbers due to the clearing of hollow-bearing trees and Allocasuarina species, their most important food source. The Glossies in the Mist project aims to identify key feeding trees and map nesting hollows to help secure foraging and breeding habitat for the glossy black-cockatoo within the Great Western Wildlife Corridor. This project relies on private landowners reporting glossy black-cockatoo sightings. We also need your help to map stands of Allocasuarina and assess feeding and hollow-bearing trees on your properties.
This project is led by the NSW Government’s Saving our Species program in partnership with Wingecarribee Shire Council, Friends of the Glossies, Australian Plant Society, Forestry Corp NSW, Local Land Services and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

What great work to support these beautiful birds and the environment generally. We have land near Goulburn with thousands of casuarina trees that the black glossy’s come and visit regularly. If you need somewhere to collect seed you are welcome to collect from the trees we have here.

Don't plant too many gums , fire intensity kills everything, far more endangered non flammable Australian trees that need their spot in the bush. A forest of white Kurrajongs with she oaks for Glossies and native grasses ,Occasional gum - Koalas Don't live everywhere.
