Outcomes: Identification of key habitat areas for Squirrel Glider Petaurus norfolcensis / Squirrel Glider habitat management plan / ecological constraints mapping / ecological sustainable housing design.

This project was a milestone in ecologically sensitive development design. Travers bushfire & ecology conducted an assessment of the importance of Forster Palms Estate and Seven Mile Beach as key habitat for the Squirrel Glider Petaurus norfolcensis, listed as a threatened species in New South Wales. In a detailed field study, Travers bushfire & ecology trapped and radio-tracked selected squirrel gliders to determine foraging behaviour, den site locations and seasonal ranges.
