These fluffy-eared, hollow-dwelling marsupials resemble their ringtail possum relatives but have a membrane, called a patagium, stretching from the elbow to the ankle, enabling them to glide up to 100 m between trees. </p><p>Their size, slow movement, need for large tree hollows, and specialised diet of gum leaves, place these nationally vulnerable marsupials at risk from habitat loss, climate change and bushfires.</p><p><strong>In this free 2-hour workshop delivered by Logan City Council, Wildlife Queensland's Queensland Glider Network experts will discuss:</strong></p><ul><li>the main risks to greater gliders in Logan;</li><li>how Logan City Council and Wildlife Queensland are working to protect and conserve greater gliders in the Logan region through nest box installation and monitoring, and the restoration of vital glider habitat;</li><li>an innovative new project helping to conserve greater gliders and yellow-bellied gliders in South East Queensland, including the latest project findings in the Logan region, and how you can get involved. </li></ul><p>You will also learn out how you can help to reduce the threats to greater gliders in Logan and make your backyards more wildlife-friendly. </p><p>The workshop will conclude with a Q&A session.
