From bats to bandicoots, skinks to snails, and frogs to frogmouths, Bungendore Park is a haven for native wildlife.
Bungendore Park is home to 17 mammal, 100 bird, 36 reptile and 10 frog species. How do we know? Surveys take place to find out how many species live here and in what numbers. For example, it’s through surveys that we know Gould’s wattled bat, lesser long-eared bat and southern forest bat all love to live in the park.
Keeping an eye on the wildlife in the park is one thing, but making sure they’re provided for is another. The park gives them food and shelter but sometimes there aren’t enough homes to go around. In that case, we provide nest boxes for cockatoos, possums and bats so they have somewhere to sleep and raise their young. These are just some of the ways we’re helping to ensure a future for our unique native wildlife in Bungendore Park.
