We oversee the conservation and effective and humane management of flying-foxes in New South Wales.

During the day, flying-foxes congregate to roost in trees. These locations are known as camps and can cause issues for the community when they are close to urban and regional settlements. These issues need proactive management.

A diverse range of bird species can be found in the Lower Hunter region, including the regent honeyeater and swift parrot. By pollinating plants, dispersing seeds and eating insects, birds are important to a healthy ecosystem.

Iconic species such as the koala and brush-tailed rock-wallaby are some of the threatened mammals in the Hunter Valley. Bats, possums and gliders are equally important species that pollinate our trees and help spread native seeds.

The insect-eating frogs of the Hunter Valley play a key role in controlling mosquitoes, flies, and spiders. Frogs are one of the most threatened animal groups in the world and are most easily identified by the sounds they make.
