YANCHEP National Park’s visitor services team has introduced a spring school holiday program with a focus on the conservation of Carnaby’s black cockatoos.
Visitor services officer Madonna Mulholland said the program would provide an opportunity to engage the community in an educational activity highlighting the endangered bird species.
“The program not only promotes Yanchep National Park’s conservation values, but gives us an opportunity to partner with volunteers who are contributing banksias from their nursery for potting and seed propagation activities,” she said.
