Woodland birds are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, and many are listed as threatened. Young District Landcare formed the Bird Working Group in 2016 with the aim of improving community awareness about the plight of woodland birds, and also to provide an activity for like-minded individuals that have an interest in native fauna.

The project is designed to provide habitat for up to 15 species of microbat through the installation of roosting boxes, the provision of future habitat through tree and shrub planting, and also aims to increase community awareness.
