Yass Landcare with live gliders from Wildlife Reimagined (another local Yass business) held a successful Possum and Glider Party on 1 November in front on the Yass Landcare Community Nursery.

The children really enjoyed being able to gently touch one of our native gliders in their custom built patting hollow-home. This was the highlight of the morning but other activities included making Possum and Glider masks (often with assistance from Mum and Dad), model Glider planes and and colouring in table.

Thankyou to Wildlife Reminaged for providing the small adorable creatures which our young attendee enjoyed touching.

Yass Landcare is holding our next art competition focusing on Possums and Gliders. Enteries will again be displayed at the new Yass Valley Library - full details are in separate Yass Landcare facebook posts.
