Mitta Mitta Primary School Junior Landcare Grant – Focus on Greater Gliders and Bandicoots

Workshops at Mitta Primary School and Eskdale Hall provided additional information on these endangered species as well as bandicoots and quolls. Peter Rowlands was the presenter.

The children at Mitta Primary School went to visit active nesting boxes at the Baranduda Regional Park late last year. They have installed 4 nest boxes at the school and planted out areas in the school yard to enhance biodiversity and provide habitat for native species, birds, and insects. The Mitta Valley Landcare Group assisted with the grant application, ordering trees and guards, organising the visit to Baranduda Parklands and Wonga Wetlands, and watering trees over the summer. Special thanks to our Landcare Coordinator Simon Felliafe for his assistance.
