TRLA stands with the Home is where the hollow is campaign

Here at TRLA, we’re passionate about the wellbeing of our natural ecosystem and recognise the responsibility we have to protect the environment and biodiversity.

Tree hollows and fallen logs provide important homes for Australian wildlife, but they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.

Trees provide critical habitat for native wildlife to forage, shelter, roost and nest. Hollow bearing trees are particularly important, as many species use hollows on a daily and seasonal basis to nest and raise their young.
