Our #science team have been spending a lot of early 2026 at our Silver Plains Reserve, on the banks of Lake Sorell. It’s dispersal season for #easternquolls, which means it’s a good time for us to pick up new individuals & take small genetic samples for ongoing research.
The devil people from UTAS and the Menzies Centre have been using our property to test devil baits and #vaccine delivery methods to combat #DFTD. As usual the #quolls are stealing the show!

Our latest #LandforWildlife member, Chris Calverley from Tayene, has sent through these fabulous pictures of #easternquolls who have made a home under his deck. They manage to get through a small hole, with one picture of a larger male gnawing the decking to make the hole big enough for him.
This gorgeous video was shared by our new #LandforWildlife members, Laurie Goldsworthy & Kristina Nicklason at Western Creek. Our Dr Dave Hamilton believes this is likely a litter of #easternquolls playing together. Eastern quolls can have up to 6 in a litter, so their #mum has done brilliantly!
Thanks to @abcnewsbot.bsky.social for this great story about our involvement in the recent translocation of captive-bred #easternquolls, helping give the overall #quoll population a boost. Read it at amp.abc.net.au/article/1050...
