Join us on a mission to explore, educate and protect the world of tree hollows. Tree hollows play a crucial role in our waterways and bushlands, providing shelter for many native species including fish, possums, birds, and reptiles.
Hollow-bearing trees are declining at an alarming rate. Their loss has been classed as a Key Threatening Process to biodiversity in New South Wales.
In this hands-on workshop, our next generation of citizen scientists will learn about the importance of hollows and how they can help protect them. Each participant will make their very own hollow home - a possum drey - to take home. By doing so, they’ll contribute to a program that supports habitat creation for native wildlife.
When: Wednesday 1st October 2025 9.30 to 11.30am
Where: Adelong Falls
What to bring: This is an outside event so please bring a hat and water bottle.
Note: This workshop is suited to children 7 to 15 years old. Parental supervision/assistance is essential.

This event is part of the Refreshing Rivers project, supported by the NSW Government Environmental Trust.

We lacked information on the aquatic wildlife of the Upper Billabong catchment, so using Citizen Science - the Refreshing Rivers iNaturalist project and eDNA tests, we have gathered 1,672 observations across the catchment and also completed 9 eDNA profiles in local waterways.

Courtesy of the Refreshing Upper Billabong project, we have a limited number of tubestock suitable for planting both instream and along creek banks to reduce erosion and create habitat.

Extreme low flows are pushing refuge pools to their limits. Heat, sediment, salinity and stock impacts are degrading water quality and threatening native fish. This article outlines what’s causing it and practical steps we can take to protect our waterways.
