Give the gift of hope for woodland birds this Christmas
Posted on 11 December, 2023 by Ivan
It’s never been more important to act on landscape restoration and provide critical habitat for our woodland birds of central Victoria. This Christmas, give the gift of hope to our threatened woodland bird population.
With every gift, you are helping Connecting Country to plant vital habitat and restore our degraded woodlands. As well as removing carbon from the atmosphere, these woodlands create habitat and ecosystems for our most treasured birds and other endangered wildlife. Do more than wish for change this Christmas. Take action to continue this important work today and restore our landscapes for your loved ones and future generations.
Today we are launching our ‘Christmas Gift for Woodland Birds’ campaign and asking our community to give the gift of habitat for our local wildlife this Christmas.
$20 plants 2 habitat and food plant to support woodland birds
$50 plants 5 habitat and food plants to support woodland birds
$150 purchases and installs a nest box for wildlife
$500 supports the establishment of a habitat corridor
$1000 can support landscape-scale carbon sinks and habitat corridors
