Approximately 39.3 million hectares (30.4% or almost one third) of Australia’s Eucalypt Woodlands have been destroyed since European settlement, mostly in the southern parts of Australia.

Much of the 89.8 million hectares of Eucalypt Woodland that remain have been degraded by high grazing pressure, inappropriate fire regimes and weeds. These threats all contribute to the loss of large, old trees, and can prevent younger trees from becoming large and old enough to form hollows.

Protection of the remaining areas of Eucalypt Woodland will allow the animals on this poster (and many other animal species that use hollows in this habitat type) to survive and thrive into the future.

'Tree hollows are animal homes’ is a series of designs inspired by the relationship between the many Australian animal species that use hollows and the trees that provide them.

This design is available on posters, art prints and other goodies from https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/164719392

Bulk orders of the detailed poster design can be arranged by emailing [email protected]

A simplified version of this design is also available as a Organic Cotton Tea Towel from https://www.paperbarkwriter.com/product/tree-hollows-are-animal-homes-3-organic-cotton-tea-towel/ or from my Beechmont Market stall.

Thanks to Prof Don Butler for providing the vegetation map and data.

I really really REALLY want a TV series based on the #KimHarrison #Hollows series!

Please make it happen!

Finally live!

A long time ago, something very bad happened to you.
Now you’re something very bad that happens to other people.

Where do Large Forest Owls go after fires and logging?

"The Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) has been running private property conservation initiatives for the large forest owls (Barking, Powerful and Masked Owls) since 2019. The works are focused across Bundjalung, Yaegl and Gumbaynggirr country, in the lower Richmond and lower Clarence floodplains of northern NSW."

They have videos on the use, installation and monitoring of nest boxes and the capture and analysis of acoustic data to assess and monitor fauna.
