Volunteers will join a local conservation team to help protect the endangered Southern Greater Glider. Activities include tree planting to restore glider habitat, spotlight surveys for glider monitoring, installation and checking of nest boxes, eDNA sampling of waterbodies, and setting up acoustic and camera traps. Volunteers will also support community engagement events, assist with citizen science activities, and help local schools learn about wildlife conservation. In case of bad weather, activities may include indoor citizen science training, data entry, nest box maintenance, community workshops, and mapping exercises.
