How to Improve Mosman's Biodiversity

Here are ten things you can do to improve the biodiversity of Mosman:

1. Provide a variety of local native trees, shrubs and grasses to provide food and habitat for a wide range of birds and animals.
2. Install a small pond to provide water and habitat for frogs.
3. Plant dense or prickly shrubs and trees, to provide a safe spot for birds to hide and escape from predators.
4. Install a nest box designed for native birds and possums.
5. Remove weeds from your garden to allow native plants to thrive.
6. Leave fallen trees/logs in your garden as they provide habitat for many plants and animals.
