Across Australia, many species rely on tree hollows for shelter and safety. As older trees are lost through clearing and severe weather events, those hollows are becoming harder to find. Small animals like bats, possums and  gliders are left searching for secure places to rest and raise their young.

A well-built nest box can bridge that gap. When installed or donated, it offers vulnerable wildlife a protected space where they can settle in and get on with the simple business of surviving.

Each participant created their very own possum drey to take home, contributing to a program that supports habitat creation for our precious native species.

By learning and doing, these young conservation champions are helping protect the homes that wildlife need to survive.
