The Squirrel Glider

Burrumbuttock Public School has had a significant involvement in the protection of Australia's native Squirrel Glider. The school has participated in landcare activities since 1990 and students and teachers were quick to become involved in the glider project. The student involvement has helped raise awareness of the vulnerabilty of the gliders and has helped restore future habitat for its survival.

A special report has been prepared by Sue Rose (Project Manager) and David Costello (West Hume Landcare Group Coordinator) which outlines both the school and community's approach to saving this threatened species.

During 2001 a short documentary about the squirrel glider and the community's involvement in the project was also filmed at a property near Burrumbuttock.
