Return of the Birds 

Picture
BirdLife Australia funded Kuranda EnviroCare Inc. with a grant via their trust fund Australian Bird Environment Foundation (ABEF) on a project to inform the public on bird re-colonisation into our present and historical restoration plantings.  The funding included building web-pages and up-loading information to educate the public of our volunteer bird-monitoring results.  Click on the heading buttons at either side of the slide show to learn more.  Click here For the Final published report
