Our team are incredibly careful not to install hollows in existing hollow-bearing trees. If we are unable to determine the presence of hollows from the ground, we will use a drone to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"letter-spacing:2.5px\">We prefer to create artificial hollows where possible &#8211; see <a href=\"https:\/\/eraus.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Habitat-Creation-Flyer_Nov-2025.pdf\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> for our handy habitat creation guide.
