Hollow Salvage in Western Sydney

Narla was recently engaged to install salvaged hollows at a site on the Cumberland Plain in Western Sydney. The removal of hollows is a key threatening process for a number of threatened hollow-dependent fauna species, so being able to salvage and re-utilise hollows where possible within the same site is an important mitigation measure to minimise these impacts.
The hollows installed, varied in size and will provide valuable habitat for a suite of fauna including small parrots, microbats and other hollow-dwelling mammals.

We will return in a couple of months to conduct monitoring of the hollows to ensure they are still intact and to see if they have begun being utilised.
