Hollows as Homes Batlow Workshop

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 2pm - 4pm

Where: White Gate TSR - corner Lower Bago and Batlow rd, Batlow

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.
