Wombat Forestcare has established two motion-sensing camera projects, each project deploys five cameras. One project covers the Wombat State Forest and surrounding public land and the second is carried out in the Lerderderg State Park.
Motion-sensing cameras are attached to a tree and focussed on an attracting bait in a container screwed to a log.
The aim of the project is to document the fauna that appears in front of the camera, with a particular aim of capturing images of threatened species such as the Brush-tailed Phascogale or Common Dunnart.
The project also documents the presence of feral animals such as foxes, cats, pigs and deer.
Wombat Forestcare would like to acknowledge a generous grant from the Wettenhall Environment Trust for the purchase of five motion-sensing cameras and equipment in July 2024.
