The Trees of Life Project  is a wetlands project a friend and I started in January this year. We both wanted to get involved with conservation and make a difference, so we did just that! We contacted a few conservation groups and figured out a project we could do to help the environment. 

So started the Trees of Life Project which aims to rehabilitate bushland for the native wildlife. Right now we’re creating an artificial wetland at Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre in Martin, Western Australia. 

Kaarakin is a not for profit organisation that rehabilitates and looks after injured Black Cockatoos found south of the river (Native Animal Rescue takes north of the river). The place is pretty much run by volunteers and only a handful of paid staff. They are currently closed to the public but are desperately wanting to open to the public to help become financial sustainable. So our little wetland project is helping them to get the place up and running. Its a great place, so if you’re keen to get some hands on experience I would highly recommend checking them out at Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre or Native Animal Rescue .

We’re currently looking for volunteers so check out the facebook page for more info! If you’re interested in starting your own project at Kaarakin, drop me a line and I can help you get it started, they’d really appreciate the help!
