Nesting boxes will be installed in the Bool Lagoon area to help save threatened woodland bird species.
Several community groups, Friends of Bool and Hacks Lagoon, Naracoorte District Men’s Shed and Birdlife Australia, received a grant from the Limestone Coast Landscape Board (LCLB) to build and install the boxes.
The partnership saw 60 artificial hollows made, with instillation expected to take place in 2024.
Birdlife Australia wetland bird program coordinator Bradley Clarke-Wood said the funding support had been critical.
“The funding has been crucial in helping us achieve our goals,” he said.
LCLB team leader habitat conservation Robbie Andrew said he was excited to see first-hand the positive impact these efforts will have on the local woodland bird populations.
“Supporting this local project and seeing so many community organisations work collaboratively to craft the nest boxes has provided a successful outcome,” he said.
Limestone Coast Grassroots Grants funding applications will be open in March 2024.
