A word from the Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator (September 2025)<\/h2>\n

Tree hollows and fallen logs provide important homes for Australian wildlife, but they\u2019re disappearing at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trees provide critical habitat for native wildlife to forage, shelter, roost and nest. Hollow bearing trees are particularly important, as many species use hollows on a daily and seasonal basis to nest and raise their young.<\/li>\n
  2. Across NSW, at least 174 animal species are hollow-dependent. 40 of these are listed as threatened, and the availability of trees, particularly large hollow-bearing trees, across the landscape is key to their on-going survival.<\/li>\n
  3. Tree hollows take hundreds of years to form but are quickly disappearing from our landscape, and they\u2019re not easily replaced. But the good news is, we have an opportunity to do something about it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s work together to protect the homes of the wildlife we love:<\/p>\n
