These beautiful birds are sadly under threat from a range of factors including clearance of mallee vegetation, drought, human disturbance and, importantly, loss of breeding habitat.
Through direct seeding Trees For Life is creating a vegetation corridor* to link the parrot’s feeding and nesting sites along the River Murray with an existing patch of mallee woodland. The revegetation includes a broad range of local native species to provide important sources of protection and food.

This project is supported by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and landscape levies.
