ERA, in partnership with Moorabool Shire Council, recently installed 35 artificial hollows and four nest boxes across eleven privately-owned properties within the Moorabool Shire Council area (see here for more details on this project).
ERA has a strong focus on science backed restoration and is currently undertaking multiple research projects on the benefits of artificial habitat creation for wildlife. The last stage of this project was the development of a citizen science project. Landowners were provided with access to a digital data collection form which allows them to easily collect and upload data on their hollows (such as occupancy, longevity and required maintenance). Some landowners have already submitted data which is fantastic!
