Living with Wildlife Southern Highland residents and visitors often have the pleasure of living with or observing local biodiversity. We've compiled this information about local threatened fauna, habitat and corridors, private land conservation, creating homes for wildlife, wildlife care, roadkill, and pest animals.
Great Western Wildlife Corridor The Great Western Wildlife Corridor (GWWC) is a key corridor in the Great Eastern Ranges located between Bullio and Bungonia, linking the southern Blue Mountains with Morton National Park.
Areas Set Aside for Conservation This page relates to signage that has been installed in public spaces where there are vulnerable and sensitive species.
Tree Hollows and Bush Rock - Homes for Wildlife Tree hollows form in the trunk or branches of live or dead trees, and usually are found in much older trees, typically 100-150 years old. Because they take so long to form, and are such important habitat for many of our native animal species, it is vital that they are retained wherever possible.
Bushland Reserves Within the Shire, we are fortunate to be able to enjoy a great number of beautiful bushland reserves and national parks that are home to an array of native species. Our motto for our network of bushland reserves is "leave only footprints, take only photographs."
Plant Guide to the Southern Highlands There are many choices we can make as gardeners to improve the wildlife habitat of our backyards and gardens, and this includes choosing local native species as decorative, border, screening or highlight plants.
