We used a unique combination of methods, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/arborgrub.com.au\/\">Arborgrub<\/a> tool, to produce natural hollows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following hollow installation, we installed remote cameras to monitor 23 LBP hollows over a three month period. Leadbeater\u2019s Possums, and other native mammals and birds, readily and quickly used artificially carved hollows.  The most common species using our hollows were Agile Antechinus, White-throated Treecreeper, Feather-tailed Glider, with LBP using seven hollows. Our cameras also captured rare footage of nest building behaviour in LBPs in three hollows!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/eraus.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1859\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eraus.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Picture1.png 906w, https:\/\/eraus.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Picture1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/eraus.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Picture1-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 906px) 100vw, 906px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 July 2025 In 2024, we installed a number of hollows in 2024 across large areas of known Leadbeater&#8217;s Possum (LBP) habitat in Central Highlands, near Noojee.
