Sleepy Hollows Nesting Boxes
Loss of habitat is threatening the survival of much of our native Fauna.
With few old growth trees, hollows are scarce. Efforts are being made everyday to replant, regenerate and recover some of our remnant bushland. However, Eucalypts for example, may not significantly form hollows until they reach over 100 years of age and these hollows form essential nesting sites for many native birds, bats and mammals.
Nesting boxes provide an essential component of the efforts being made to conserve our natural ecosystems and the magnificent wildlife which our bushland supports. Habitat can be provided in perpetuity. ...more
