Investigating the housing shortage for Brush Tailed Phascogales and other threatened species

This project was funded by a Wettenhall Small Environment Grant. The project aim was to utilise the latest eDNA screening technology to test soil samples beneath installed nest boxes and natural tree hollows for the presence of Brush Tailed Phascogales or Powerful Owls.

The results of this project will be presented, as well as a demonstration of the eDNA sampling and testing process.
