A community event dedicated to the conservation of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo. Join us for a special screening of the short documentary film, Cry of the Glossy, followed by some tree planting.
The Glossy Black-Cockatoo is one of our region’s threatened species. Learn from Bundanon’s Natural Resources Manager, Michael Andrews, about the vital role this bird plays in the ecosystem and the critical need to protect its habitat.
You’ll have the opportunity to plant She-Oaks (Casuarinas), the main food source for these magnificent birds, ensuring a future for them in the wild.
The event also includes a special screening of Cry of the Glossy, a short film by Gunai Woman, Kirli Saunders OAM, a multi-award-winning writer and artist. This film highlights the cultural and environmental significance of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo in the Shoalhaven region.
Come and be a part of this inspiring experience, where you’ll learn, connect and contribute to conservation efforts in Bundanon’s glorious landscape.
Please bring gloves and wear closed-toe shoes and appropriate outdoor attire including a hat. All planting materials will be supplied and a Pure Pops icy pole is included in ticket price.
