Monitoring Perth Banksia Woodlands Restoration Project - Shenton Bushland

The Friends of Shenton Bushland and the City of Nedlands have obtained funding to restore a degraded area in the bushland to provide food and habitat for Cockatoos in the Perth area.

As part of The Friends' contribution to the project we have been collecting seeds to plant out, and monitoring outcomes from the project.
