ARF nursery grows up!

ARF Conservation Officer, Adrian Watson inspects the nursery tunnel.

We reported in our last e-newsletter that rain was delaying work on our new Daintree nursery – but thankfully now that we’re in the Dry Season (that doesn’t mean it’s not raining – just less of it) work has progressed really well and we are planning an official opening in July.

With some seedlings already planted out it won’t be long before we are restocking the pantry of our regular cassowary visitors.

The right trees ready to plant in the right place.	Cassowary Plum seedlings from field collections growing are growing well in the nursery.
