July 2022
On Saturday 9th July over a dozen volunteers turned up at the Chelsea Street Reserve. Stefan Hattingh from the Moreton Bay Regional Council joined the group and brought with him a special camera and monitors to investigate if any fauna were utilising the dozen or so installed nest boxes. The monitoring revealed two species of nocturnal marsupials utilised the boxes as a safe haven for the daytime. Four individual Brushtail Possums and a family of Sugar Gliders, underpinned the great value of the work carried out by the Chelsea Street Bushcare team. Their work helps to maintain the quality of the vegetation in the reserve, which provides valuable habitat for our local wildlife.
