Regent Honeyeater Project Inc

Support threatened species The purpose of the Regent Honeyeater Project is to improve biodiversity to provide a more secure future for a number of threatened species in northeast Victoria. We focus on Box/Ironbark and Grey Box eucalypt woodland areas largely to the east and north of Benalla including the Lurg Hills and Winton Wetlands. The range of threatened woodland birds and animals using these areas includes the Regent Honeyeater, Greycrowned Babbler, Swift Parrot, Squirrel Glider and Brush Tailed Phascogale. Threatened flora include shrubs that are rare in our region such as Indigofera and Western GoldenTip and a number of native flowers including daisy and lily species. Our project is named for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater because it is the icon (rarest) of the threatened woodland bird community in the area. It can appear when the Ironbark trees are in flower in winter and can sometimes follow a procession of flowering plants into spring.
