Calendar of events
July marks the start of the Fat-tailed Dunnart breeding season which can last through to summer. Females construct nests using dried plant material under logs, rocks, or in deep cracks in the ground. A major threat to this species is the loss of nesting, shelter and feeding habitat comprising rocks, logs, tussocks, ground cover and crevices in paddocks and woodlands.
See the July bio-calendar to see what some of our native plants and animals are doing this month.
