Our Sugar Glider Project continues to reflect our focus on conservation. Over 360 nest boxes
have been installed in wildlife habitat corridors in Montmorency & surrounding
suburbs. Every year, volunteer climbers inspect these boxes for sugar glider occupation and

bush garden zoning laws. We also continually work to understand and to give feedback on
Banyule Council Plans.
