Wildlife Real Estate: Building Homes for Nature

We are all too aware of the housing crisis facing the Blue Mountain and the pressure being put on our land and natural resources. With ever increasing land degradation and habitat loss caused by an expanding metropolis, it’s not just our communities that are suffering but our local fauna too. What about all those creatures of the night, the birds in the sky, and those lizards basking in the sun – their kids are facing an uncertain future as well.

Have you noticed a decline in some species in recent years? Less squawking and chirping during the day, rustling of branches or tramping on the roof at night, or fewer sounds of someone scurrying away as you walk around? Do you think you have animals in your area who may benefit from some additional accommodation?

Unsure what you can do about it?

Join us for Wildlife Real Estate: Building Homes for Nature:

1. Wildlife accommodation experts from Hollowhog and Habitat Innovations will be sharing their skills with you – creating tree hollows and installing nest boxes.

2. Mountains for Wildlife and the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mt Tomah will be sharing their expertise about installing hollows, what inspired them, how they did it, and what issues we need to be aware of.

3. We will also hear about birds and their needs, and how schools and families can be involved to bring the natural world into our everyday life.

4. Meet the animals that are looking for homes, with Me&Zoo. Some of those lizards will be there to check YOU out. Come and meet them!
