Following our habitat corridor project, we’ve put together the costings so people can plan/budget to put in their own corridor.

Here is a copy of the article on our habitat corridor project that appeared in the latest North Central CMA newsletter – North Central Chat.

Thanks to the Landcare crew that came out today for the annual nest box monitoring. We had two teams complete approximately 80 boxes in 2 hours using the pole cameras. Thanks to (L to R in photo) Beth, Michael, Pam, Brona, Bronwyn, Dave, Miles, Louie, Nev (and Ned running about somewhere).

We recorded 24 sugar gliders, one Brush-tailed Possum, 10 or so bats, three boxes had bees, and there were fresh nests for four Brush-tailed Phascogales. Miles got chased by bees, and afterwards found a Yellow-footed Antechinus eating a dead bird in one of the boxes!

It’s going to be cold tomorrow (chance of rain) so rug up in your warmest outdoor gear for the annual Muckleford Landcare nest box monitoring – Sunday 29th May, 10am, Walmer South Nature Conservation Reserve, Walmer-Muckleford Road, near the old church.

We are due to undertake our annual nest box monitoring in the Walmer South Nature Conservation Reserve. SUNDAY 29TH MAY 2022, 10am. I know it’s going to rain, but we will just wear weatherproof clothing. We will divide into two teams and take on half the reserve per team, that way we’ll be finished in under 3 hours. Let me know if you can come by emailing Beth Mellick or phone me on 0431219980.
