Junortoun Community Action Group received funding through the City of Greater Bendigo to construct nest boxes for the small marsupials and asked Catholic College Bendigo if its students would like to be involved.
A group of students constructed the boxes and will now monitor them for the JCAG using a pole camera, reporting back on what animals are using the boxes and how they are being used.
The students will also continue their involvement in the project by constructing more nest boxes for other animals this year.
Council rangers will install and maintain the boxes.
