The experienced woodworkers at The Bower will teach you how to make a microbat roost box. You’ll be able to take the roost box home to install in your garden (as well as basic woodworking skills to last a lifetime).

At this workshop, you will learn:
– about microbats of Sydney and how to conserve their habitat
– basic woodworking skills
– how to build a microbat roost box

Microbats, or Wirrambi (meaning bat in Gadigal language) are native, small, insect-eating mammals from the family Microchiroptera. Sydney is home to a range of microbats, with just under 20 different species being sighted in Sydney alone. Sadly, most of these species are listed on the NSW Threatened Species List.

This event is run by National Parks Association of NSW as part of the Wild Wild Inner West project.

This project is supported by Greater Sydney Local Land Services through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.

We would like to acknowledge that this workshop is held on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the Gadigal lands, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

This workshop is for at young adults (18 to 35 years) living in the Inner West and City of Sydney areas.
