Habitat Trees

The Minyumai Rangers have documented over 180 significant trees across the landscape and by 2024 plan to have all large, hollow bearing trees identified. This information assists to better understand the availability of natural hollow habitat for a range of threatened species including Gehrr (Glossy Black-Cockatoo), Wijoon (Gliders) and forest Owls.

 

Boorubee (Koala) feed trees are also being identified as part of the Minyumai Women Ranger-led Boorubee Conservation Project. 

 

Knowing where the trees are, and monitoring their health, assists with protecting them in times of wildfire and other extreme weather events. A priority list has been developed to ensure that these trees are raked-around to slow fire from approaching the trunks.

 

The Borrubee project is a Minyumai IPA partnership with Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat.
