A quick update on the progress of our Herbivore Exclusion Fence fundraising project.
Thanks in part to two mild and slightly wetter than average summers, the revegetation areas from 2019, 2020 and 2021 are looking quite spectacular.
Bio·R’s purpose-built nursery helps to secure the high diversity of plant species we need every year for our biodiverse plantings.
It takes over 100 years for a sapling tree to develop hollows that can be used for wildlife. In the meantime, we install nest boxes to provide homes for hollow-dependent species.
Bio·R’s Dr. Fiona Paton discusses why we must use nest boxes as a means of habitat to support our endangered wildlife. Keep an eye out for some beautiful Owlet-Nightjar chicks.
Some great news for the endangered Glossy Black-Cockatoos on Kangaroo Island!
Curious to learn more about bird banding? Hear from Bio·R director Dr. David Paton as he explains what bird banding is all about and why it provides critical research to help declining populations of threatened bird species
The cornerstone of Bio·R’s work involves putting plants in the ground; since 2007 we have reconstructed hundreds of hectares of habitat to support our wildlife.
We’re thrilled to report that our 23,500 seedlings that were planted by 300 amazing volunteers at Frahn’s Farm in June have been given a much-needed drink, following more than an inch of rain so far this August!
