The Woodland Birds Program aims to enhance the conservation of all threatened and declining woodland species. This is achieved by either single-species recovery work (e.g. Swift Parrot, Regent Honeyeater and Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo recovery projects) or multi-species projects like Birds on Farms. Through on-the-ground management practices and protection of woodland habitats the program has been able to reduce the threats woodland birds face.

What to bring

A hat, water bottle and sturdy shoes for a field walk.
