Restoration of Banksia Woodland

This project will restore 1 hectare of Banksia Woodland in Queens Park Regional Open Space. The restoration will buffer an existing Threatened Ecological Community (Banksia Woodlands on the Swan Coastal Plain) and link it to other areas of fragmented native vegetation. The City of Canning will direct seed a completely degraded area (0.8ha) and infill a degraded area (0.2ha) with tubestock. Seed and plants used will be endemic to the area. The restoration will protect the existing Banksia Woodland and extend the area of habitat for wildlife including the Threatened Carnabys Black Cockatoo and the Forest Red Tail Black Cockatoo. The City will implement this project in partnership with local environmental group Friends of Queens Park Bushland.
