Project description

The Capertee Valley in New South Wales is a Key Biodiversity Area supporting over 240 species of birds including a number of threatened and declining Woodland Birds. It is also one of the most important breeding locations for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater. A Hawke�s Brewing Landcare Threatened Species Bushfire Grant awarded in 2020 supported the Capertee Valley Landcare Group to implement its Water for Woodland Birds project providing long-term watering points at key Regent Honeyeater breeding locations within the Valley that did not already have a permanent water supply.

Project aims

Project outcome

The landcare group attracted and engaged local volunteers to assist with the successful installation of four Class A bird watering stations at key locations in close proximity to known Regent Honeyeater nesting sites within the Capertee Valley.
