Many native animals need tree hollows to den or nest, and some larger animals like yellow-bellied gliders, cockatoos, and powerful owls, as well as colony-roosting bat species like the yellow-bellied sheathtail bat, need big hollows. 🦇

Across western Sydney's critically endangered Cumberland Plains Woodlands, large, old trees with hollows have dwindled because of historical clearing and urban expansion, creating a shortage of habitat.

New research has found only 3.1 trees per hectare contain large hollows across the critically endangered woodlands. It also found that trees with a diameter less than 50cm seldom contained hollows. Once trees reached 1m diameter 90% had hollows but only one third had large hollows.

To support hollow-dependent wildlife, the research team recommend identifying and protecting all existing hollow-bearing trees, retaining younger trees that can develop hollows in future, and deploying and testing artificial hollows for key species.

The study was undertaken by Western Sydney U - Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment
