Native wildlife nesting box workshop

Did you know that over 300 vertebrate species rely on tree hollows and more than a 1/3 of these species are endangered or critically endangered?

Join James Smith of fauNature to discover how we can support our native wildlife. This workshop is ideal for families, small groups or individuals. 

PART 1 - Wildlife Hollows

Learn about the importance of tree hollows, how they form, the species that use them and what we can do to support these species in the absence of naturally occurring hollows. Presentation is approximately 45 mins.

PART 2 - Build Your Own Wildlife Box (optional)

You will be supported in building your own wildlife box (artificial hollow) to take home, for either parrots or possums. This workshop supplies one wildlife box kit per participant/group. All necessary materials are provided, so please bring a sense of adventure, enthusiasm and a commitment to assist your local wildlife.
