As part of native habitat restoration, nest boxes have been introduced at Peelwood and Grabine to mimic hollows occurring in mature trees for gliding possums, birds and micro-bats.
These essential nesting areas are designed to provide a stable microclimate for native fauna, ensuring their safety.
Members of Upper Lachlan Landcare were invited to join in the installation […]
Around six years ago, the K2W Glideways Link Partnership, which supports conservation in the Kanangra-Boyd to Wyangala area, partnered with projects in the NSW Great Eastern Ranges to replenish green corridors, restore riparian areas and give native wildlife a fighting chance of survival.
The NSW Government supported the project through its Environmental Trust, the K2W Glideways […]
The K2W Glideways project has teamed up with conservation start-up Habitat Innovation and Management to install Habitech nest boxes for wildlife populations across the Greater Blue Mountains to Wyangala Dam.
Project officer Mary Bonet is trialling an advanced type of artificial hollow designed by ecologist Mick Callan that will provide new homes for a range of […]
Surveys being conducted by volunteer bird-watchers near Goulburn are aiding the conservation efforts and management of National Parks. In particular, catching a glimpse of the vivid red plumage of the Scarlet Robin is helping to protect the wildlife along the Kanangra-Boyd to Wyangala Link (K2W).
Volunteers from the Goulburn Field Naturalists are tracking and monitoring bird […]
Nearly two years on from the bushfires, heatwaves and drought important populations of vulnerable gliding possums have been seen in the National Parks and Reserves in the Bigga and Tuena area.
Between Spring 2020 and Autumn 2021, ecologists Peter and Judy Smith surveyed arboreal mammals, including gliding possums, in the Kanangra-Boyd to Lake Wyangala (K2W) corridor.
The […]
