Free Nesting Boxes: If you're interested in having a free nesting box for a phascogale installed on your property, contact Karrie Williamson from the Blackwood Basin Group on 9769 1129.
Last year, a number of landholders assisted Karrie in putting red-tailed phascogale nesting boxes in potential habitats for the threatened species.
Karrie has a number of boxes available, so if you have sighted this marsupial on your land, get in touch.
