Clarkesdale Bird Sanctuary
A showcase of achievements
|
|
- Clarkesdale was a finalist in the 2003
Banksia Awards - Category 6 - Protecting Bush, Land and Waterways
- Clarkesdale pioneered the protection
of private land for its conservation value and the provision of financial
resources for ongoing maintenance and development.
- Since its inception 30 years ago, the
CBS has been largely self funded thanks to the generosity of Gordon Clarke and the
dedicated work of many volunteers.
- Clarkesdale has been successful in
reversing the decline of the ‘woodland bird community’ listed as a ‘threatened
community’ under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.
- Clarkesdale has been innovative within
the field of conservation in developing a network of partnerships over a
thirty-year period.
- Clarkesdale has been catering for
ecotourism for many years. Members of BOCA, TfN, Field Nats, Landcare groups
etc, have visited and sometimes camped at the CBS.
