Works in the Bird Sanctuary
19 September 2008
Contractors of the Trust will be undertaking tree removal and threatened species restoration works in the 'Bird Sanctuary' along Banksia Way, Centennial Park on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 September 2008.
The works will involve the removal of five Pittosporum trees as they are not part of the endangered ESBS plant community. These trees are shading out the area and suppressing regeneration in the area.
The works are part of the Threatened Species Demonstration Site project, recently recognised by the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change as a best practice example of such works in New South Wales.
What is the Threatened Species Demonstration Site project?
The NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change and the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust have signed an agreement to restore two reserves of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS) ecological community using best practice management techniques.
The site known as the 'Bird Sanctuary' is one of these sites - the other being a small pocket of ESBS on York Road.
An Open Day will be held in October, and best practice guidelines and a brochure will be produced for the ESBS community, using Centennial Parklands as a case study.
This recognition is an endorsement of the quality work of our dedicated volunteers, and would not have been possible without the support of the National Trust in providing supervision of volunteers and financial assistance from our neighbours, Moriah College and the Commonwealth Government’s Envirofund.
The project is expected to be completed by November 2008.
Who is funding this project?
This project is being funded by the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change ($22,000) and the Centennial Parklands Foundation will be contributing $4,000 in-kind support through community education and training.
