Making a Nest

for the Woylie

Endangered

By Remy, age 11

I chose the Woylie or Brush Tailed Bettong because they are a cute keystone species. Woylie’s are keystone species because they perform maintenance for forests and woodlands by turning over the soil, dispersing seeds and aerating the soil. My artwork shows a little Woylie collecting dry grass for its nest. We can help Woylies by keeping cats indoors at night and by inserting fences around their homes.
