Here is a chance to help one of our volunteer community groups, the Friends of the Western Ground Parrot, to win $5000 to help them with the important work. By clicking on following highlighted words you’ll be able to vote for this project and if they get the most votes, they win – it’s as easy as that! It is estimated that there are now fewer than 140 Western Ground Parrots in existence and it is possible they face extinction in the next decade. The Friends group commit thousands of volunteer hours in monitoring the birds and protecting their habitat. They will use the money to establish a captive breeding and release program – and they need a lot of help! Please take 2 minutes to cast your vote for this hard-working, essential group.

The Western Ground Parrot was the topic of a talk given to the Darling Range Branch in 2011. Click on the preceding highlighted words to read.
