Celebrating National Tree Day: Supporting the Glossy Black Cockatoos

On National Tree Day, our community came together with a shared purpose: to support the threatened Glossy Black Cockatoos. This remarkable event saw the planting of over 100 trees, a significant stride in creating and enhancing habitats for this endangered species.

The Glossy Black Cockatoo, known for its striking appearance and vital role in our ecosystem, has faced numerous challenges due to habitat loss and fragmentation. By planting these trees, we are not only providing essential resources for their survival but also contributing to the biodiversity and health of our environment.

This initiative was made possible by the generous support of our sponsors:

  1. Essential Energy: We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Essential Energy for supplying the Belah trees, specifically chosen for the Glossy Black Cockatoo planting. These trees are vital to the cockatoos, providing the nuts and habitat necessary for their survival.
  2. DPI Fisheries: A special thank you goes to DPI Fisheries for their Habitat Action funding. This support was instrumental in facilitating the event and ensuring that we had the resources needed to make a significant impact.
  3. Toyota: Toyota's contribution of tree guards, hats, and gloves was invaluable. These items not only ensured the safety and efficiency of our planting efforts but also demonstrated Toyota's commitment to environmental stewardship.

The event was a true community effort, bringing together volunteers of all ages who worked tirelessly to plant and protect these young trees. Each tree planted is a step towards restoring the natural habitat for the Glossy Black Cockatoos, offering them a better chance of survival and contributing to the overall health of our ecosystem.

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and are excited to see the positive impact of our efforts in the coming years. Thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and community members who made National Tree Day a resounding success. Let’s continue to work together to support our environment and the incredible species that depend on it.

DCCEEW Stakeholder Survey

As part of ongoing stakeholder consultation, the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has developed a short survey to better understand how climate change is impacting restoration projects across the state.
The survey aims to: 

  • Capture local experiences of climate risks and impacts on restoration efforts,
  • Identify whether climate adaptation actions are being considered or implemented, and
  • Understand what information, tools, or resources could better support restoration practitioners in planning for a changing climate.


We are hoping to reach a wide range of practitioners, planners and policy makers working in ecological restoration across NSW and would greatly appreciate your help in circulating this survey through your networks.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal or identifying information. All responses will be reviewed carefully to ensure they remain anonymous.

Please feel free to forward this message and survey link to any colleagues, project partners or relevant contacts who may be interested in contributing. The broader the reach, the better the insights we can gather to support effective, climate-resilient restoration in NSW.
