Kids Wildlife Heroes Workshops: Tumut & Gundagai

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.

Workshops near you:

Tumut - 15th January 9.00 to 10.30am

Gundagai - 15th January 1.30 to 3.00pm

To register: Local Land Services events | NSW Government
