​In November 2015 the Kowree Farm Tree Group was successful in gaining funding for a 'Kids creating habitat for Cockies' project. This project aims to raise the profile of conservation of the South-east Red-tailed Black Cockatoo in the West Wimmera. School children will work to propagate feed trees for the critically endangered south-east sub-species of the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. The stringybark seedlings will be planted on numerous sites within the SERtBC's range & provide schools with the knowledge & materials required for growing tree seedlings & understanding the needs of the SERtBC.

The funding may have finished but the project continues! In May 2017 Kerry Julkes, from the South-east Red-tailed Black Cockatoo Recovery Team Joined up with Local Landcare Facilitator, Annette Jones. They visited Edenhope College, Apsley School & St Malachy's Primary School. Children heard a presentation about the critically endangered Red-tailed Black Cockatoo & then were able to get their hands dirty by getting involved in the planting of locally collected native tree seeds. The intention is to plant out the seedlings on local private & public land to support the population of the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo.
