Students from the Mundaring Christian College recently completed a workshop building micro bat boxes.

They had to research the requirements that the bats need to live and breed in a successful artificial habitat.

Based on these findings five trees were selected as potential installation sites. The boxes were installed and a GPS was used to record locations for further studies.

The area chosen is called Black Cockatoo Reserve situated at the rear of the school. A representative from the Friends group was on site to view the installation of the boxes.
