Creating habitat for birds at Daroobalgie - forbes shire Council
Alliance funding 2021
Central West Councils Environment & Waterways Alliance has funded a range of projects for our Member Councils in 2021 that will contribute to positive environmental outcomes across our region. Grant funds of up to a maximum of $5,000 has been distributed to Councils who were able to demonstrate matched funds for environmental projects within their 2021-22 budgets and operational plans.
Funding under this round was specifically for on-ground works and not projects that are predominantly based on planning, reporting or assessment.
Creating habitat for birds at Daroobalgie - forbes shire Council
Forbes landfill is surrounded by Threatened Ecological Community consisting of 76 Western Grey box tall grassy woodland. It is identified that there are over 20 native bird species and one native mammal share this habitat. This project will extend the habitat for these native species.
Forbes Shire Council recently engaged OS Trees Pty Ltd to create 20 new nesting hollows in existing dead trees to create new homes for the increasing birdlife in the area.
Further information will be added to this page as the project proceeds.
