As summer comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an incredible season at Banyula! Feathertail Gliders have been thriving at our Tree Troffs, and nest box monitoring shows high occupancy rates. Evan the baby emu continues to provide insights into coastal emu movements, while a cultural ceremony honoured the return of a coastal emu to Country. We’ve expanded habitat restoration, tackled weeds, and celebrated long time partnerships. Plus, our Conservation Connections event is coming up - so check that out if you’re a Clarence Valley conservationist!

From the inspiring sight of an emu father and his chicks, to nocturnal encounters with greater gliders and a surprise sighting of the endangered bush stone-curlew, each day reinforces our mission. Workshops and surveys, like our baseline ground mammal study, the Bats in Backyards program and the Clarence Birdo’s visit, continue to expand our species list while informing habitat conservation. We’ve also installed two new TreeTroffs to support tree-dwelling wildlife, adding to Banyula’s safe haven for Australia’s unique species.

Banyula is one of five sanctuaries in Odonata's innovative SEASON network, and we are proud to contribute to the vital work of saving species from extinction. Odonata's sanctuary network is a powerful tool in the recovery of threatened species, offering essential protection and opportunities to enhance biodiversity.

We're excited to reveal our new logo designed by Frances Belle Parker and share some raucous wildlife moments captured on camera this autumn. You'll also find updates from our weed team, an update on pest management, highlights from our visit to the Wildbark Sanctuary in Canberra, and save-the-date details for some fantastic upcoming events at Banyula.

We're excited to share our new logo, the icon designed by the incredibly talented Frances Belle Parker, a renowned Yaegl artist. At the heart of the design is a dynamic flower burst, representing the Corymbia genus of trees which play a crucial role in our ecosystem, providing food and shelter for threatened species like the greater glider and yellow-bellied glider.

From expanding our conservation efforts to joining the Wildlife Land Trust family, there's plenty to celebrate - like Dad and Son emu returning to Banyula! Plus, get insights from our recent Pest Predators Workshop and learn about the mischievous antics of our resident Brush Tailed Possum.

Hey there nature lovers! Here's the latest scoop from our corner of the Clarence Valley. Sit back, grab a cuppa, and let's dive into what's been happening lately at Banyula in our ongoing mission to preserve and protect our precious environment.

Banyula Baseline Survey with the Nature Conservation Council. Last week we had 3 of the best small mammal ecologists from the Nature Conservation Council undertake a baseline in, and out, of our feral-free enclosure. The purpose of the survey was to see what is currently living on this land so we know our starting point for these small and very cute mammals. Periodically, the team will return to survey the same areas then compare the results.
