We’re home to a large grey-headed flying-fox colony that helps establish and regenerate our native bushland. Thanks to these tiny critters, our local ecosystem continues to thrive.
One of the ways we check in on our flying-foxes is by conducting quarterly counts to learn more about their population size.
