Nest box resources

Nest boxes are an important aspect to wildlife conservation in any areas where natural nesting hollows are not available.

Connecting Country has installed 400 nest boxes across the Mount Alexander landscape systematically so that we can examine some of the factors that might influence whether they are being used by Tuans or other animals. To find out more about nest box monitoring, click here.
