Thanks to the energy and teamwork of volunteers from a range of local businesses, we planted 2,880 native seedlings, restoring the landscape at Guildford Meadows, creating a biodiverse habitat and climate-resilient ecosystem.
Huge thanks to the teams from Perspektiv, Aerison, CPS and HFW Legal.
We were also lucky to be joined by special guest Simon Cherriman from The Re-cyc-ology Project. Earlier this year a team of volunteers worked with Simon to build a set of large top entry nest boxes to support endangered black cockatoos. Simon installed one of these boxes in an ancient Eucalyptus rudis at Guildford Meadows, to provide a breeding place for black cockatoos while the young trees we have planted continue to grow.
Our Impact
- 2,880 trees planted in one day
- One nest box installed for black cockatoos
- Supporting 23 native species through restoration of biodiverse ecosystems
- Building habitat for a wide range of birds, frogs and pollinators
- Contributing to urban canopy in Perth which will play an important part in reducing local temperatures
Located on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) in
Caversham, the Mandoon Moitch (Guildford Meadows) restoration project
contains a significant remnant wetland, once surrounded by riparian
vegetation and a Eucalyptus rudis (Moitch / Flooded Gum) Woodland which
was cleared in the 1930s.
Now a part of Whiteman Park, it
provides viable habitat for threatened and at-risk native animal
species, and is home to significant, registered cultural sites of the
local Noongar people.
Mandoon Moitch is considered an area of
significant environmental importance, due to its impressive population
of native flora and fauna, and that its water flows from the Gnangara
Water Mound.
Since 2016, volunteers have planted over 100,000 trees on this key restoration site.
Encouraging
local community members to engage in nature-based solutions helps to
educate everyone about the importance of trees, and empower individuals
to overcome eco anxiety about the future health of our planet.
