Join us for an engaging and informative session where you will learn about innovative habitat augmentation techniques that can transform your farm, backyard, or community into a thriving ecosystem for wildlife.

Why Attend? If you love wildlife, birds, reptiles, and mammals, this workshop is a must-attend! Habitat Innovation specializes in creating, enhancing, and managing habitats to ensure the long-term viability of Australia's unique biodiversity. By attending, you'll gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience in habitat augmentation, learning how to support local wildlife effectively.

About Habitat Innovation Habitat Innovation is dedicated to the long-term management of Australia's unique biodiversity. Their team of ecologists uses cutting-edge techniques to develop nature-based solutions, including:

  • Supply and installation of Habitat Modular Nest Box Systems
  • Carved hollow installation using the Hollow Hog tool and chainsaw
  • Nest box and augmented habitat monitoring and reporting
  • Biodiversity planning for threatened species recovery
  • Habitat Needs Assessment (HNA)
  • Landscape scale biodiversity monitoring and management
  • Biodiversity enhancement of agricultural landscapes
  • Revegetation strategies

Their modular nest boxes, designed by ecologists, mimic the stable microclimate of natural tree hollows, providing vital homes for hollow-dependent fauna such as gliders, possums, and parrots. These innovative solutions are especially crucial in the wake of events like the Black Summer bushfires, which left many animals homeless.

  • Learn how to create and maintain habitats that support local wildlife.
  • Gain insights into the latest ecological research and techniques.
  • Enhance the biodiversity of your property, whether it's a farm, backyard, or community space.
  • Contribute to the conservation of threatened species and the restoration of natural habitats.

Join Us! Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the experts at Habitat Innovation and make a positive impact on our local environment. Whether you're a farmer, a backyard enthusiast, or a community member, this workshop will provide valuable knowledge and tools to help you support wildlife in your area.

We look forward to seeing you there and working together to build a better future for our native species!
