To celebrate Birrarung Riverfest 2025, we invite you to come along and join in a morning of hollow checking for our resident Krefft's gliders.

We will be on hand to help you spot, learn about, and record your sightings, as we focus on the amazing gliders that call Boroondara home!

Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes for an outdoor walk along uneven ground. Please bring a water bottle and be prepared for the weather. Please note, there will be no handling of wildlife during the hollow checks and participants will be required to remain on the paths as requested by Council staff. Staff will access the hollows with cameras and participants will assist with viewing hollows from camera screens and data collection from a small distance on paths. No participants will be required/approved to enter bushland under any circumstances.

This is part of an ongoing monthly monitoring project and we would love your help with this data collection.

Where to meet: Willsmere Park Pavilion, 27 Willow Grove, Kew East.

We will meet you at the pavilion and we will then walk down to the location together.

When: Wednesday 24th September, 10am - 11am.

Where: Willsmere Pavilion, Willsmere Park, Willow Grove, Kew East

PLEASE NOTE: Children must have an adult guardian present throughout the event. It is the guardian’s responsibility to supervise your child. Please keep an eye on the weather forecast. We will email attendees if we need to cancel/postpone any events. Please keep an eye on your emails prior to the event for updates.
