Need a fun project to do over the weekend? Make your very own bee hotel out of locally sourced hardwood. Hardwood bee hotels provide habitat for cavity-nesting native bees like wasp-mimic bees, grass carrying wasps and resin bees, so they can help pollinate local flora. Watch

Take a look at what the discovery of Leadbeater's possums in NSW, 250 km away from the known populations in Victoria, means for the conservation of the Critically Endangered species, and why knowing where populations of our most imperilled species are should come down to adequate
