The
Re-Cyc-Ology Project is a conservation and environmental education small family business inspired by the loss of tree-hollows, the urgent need to protect remaining wildlife habitat, and the growing amount of human waste
(landfill) entering our ecosystems.
The project focusses on delivering 2 key outcomes:
1. Design, construction, installation, monitoring and maintenance of long-lasting, bee-resistant artificial tree-hollows ('nest-boxes') that cater for a wide range of hollow-dependent wildlife;
2. Facilitation of hands-on workshops that educate others on how to do the above, and fostering custodianship for unique West Australian wildlife, on both private and public land.
'Re-Cyc-Ology' combines the dictionary definitions
of three simple words:
recycle |rēˈsīkəl|
verb
[ trans. ]
convert
(waste) into reusable material
[as adj. ] ( recycled) goods made of recycled materials.
[as n. ] ( recycling) a call for the recycling of all paper.

The
combination of these definitions results in the project's definition and
overall aim:
"To effect positive change in human thinking and behaviour by converting waste materials into wildlife habitat, spark interest in the environment and understanding of ecology, fostering custodianship, and showcase in a positive light a practical, sustainable and fun solution to environmental issues."
