Most of the habitat supporting our native plants and animals is found on private properties, not National Parks or reserves.
In recognition of the important role private landholders play in achieving conservation outcomes across the city, the Conservation Partnerships Program offers a number of schemes to support private landholders restoring and protecting their property's wildlife habitat. These schemes include Land for Wildlife, Voluntary Conservation Agreements and the Nature Conservation Assistance Program.

Gliders in a nest box - Lower Beechmont
Recently, Conservation Partnerships Officers carried out a nest box audit in Lower Beechmont, only to discover some very cute gliders inside.
Old trees (whether dead or alive) with hollows provide essential habitat for a broad range of Australian wildlife and in their absence, nest boxes can play a vital role for hollows, providing nesting opportunities for a wide range of wildlife.
