111 new homes for wildlife: hollow creation at South Kipper

Last month our team, alongside the climbing crew from Heartwood Tree Solutions, completed the installation of 111 artificial hollows at South Kipper, a site managed by the Koala Farmland Fund.

Natural hollows are a limiting resource across much of South East Queensland. In Eucalypts they can take well over a century to form, yet they are essential shelter and breeding habitat for possums, gliders, parrots, owls and microbats. Where the natural supply has not kept pace, carved and installed hollows help bridge the gap while the surrounding trees continue to mature.

This was rewarding work. Our arborists worked from both an elevated work platform and on rope, cutting and fitting each hollow to suit the target species and the structure of the host tree. Getting the crew and equipment across the site was a project in itself.

We really enjoy work like this. Improving habitat for the wildlife that depends on hollows is one of the key outcomes we want our arboricultural work to deliver.

Thanks to the Koala Fund Foundation and the team at Heartwood Tree Solutions for a great project.

The tools confirm the diagnosis. They do not make it.

Our team was out at Gympie Memorial Park this week, assessing the structural condition of some of the park's significant trees.

We use three methods together. First, a Visual Tree Assessment, where an experienced arborist reads the tree and its external signs of structure and weakness. When something raises a question, we bring in the technology: the Resistograph, which measures wood density along a fine drill, and the Picus, which builds a sonic picture of the inside of the trunk.

Here is the important part. The instruments do not replace the assessor. They confirm what a trained eye has already noticed, and they turn a suspicion into a measured finding.

For the people who manage public spaces, that means decisions about whether a tree stays, goes, or needs work are backed by evidence, not guesswork.
