Boorowa Central School and St Joseph's Primary School in Boorowa are also participating in several projects this term centred around biodiversity conservation.
These projects are being supported by the Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) and include in-class lessons and field day excursions.
The BCT is working with Boorowa Community Landcare Group (BCLG) and Hovells Creek Landcare Group (HCLG) on this project.
Boorowa Community Landcare Group and Hovells Creek Landcare Group are working on a program to save the Superb Parrot species, which is iconic to the area, through helping farmers and land managers look after hollow-bearing trees and woodland vegetation and to replant trees and shrubs for the future.
BCLG committee members will be available to discuss funding opportunities for landholders to help with fencing to protect and enhance habitat for the Superb Parrot and other woodland birds.
This event is FREE and open to all members of the public - All Welcome.
If you would like to become a member of BCLG and be involved in the Saving Our Superb Project and other activities - join on the night $10 pp for calendar year.
