Event Information
After years of dedicated restoration work by Capertee Valley Landcare, Local Council, LLS, North East Wiradjuri co and the local community, the newly planted trees are flourishing—creating much-needed habitat for birds, insects, and mammals. But no woodland is complete without its understory! Now, it’s time to plant 2,000 shrubs and grasses to build a thriving ecosystem from the ground up.

Why This Matters
The Glen Davis Reserve is a critical habitat for the Regent Honeyeater, one of Australia’s most endangered birds. With fewer than 400 remaining in the wild, restoring the woodland understory is essential for providing the nectar, shelter, and nesting sites this species desperately needs. Your efforts will directly support the survival of this incredible bird and many other native species.
