The Albury Conservation Company's safeguarding endangered species program has begun expanding into Wodonga after monitoring began in Albury in 2018.

The Wodonga program will see monitoring installed at 60 sites across the Leneva Baranduda area with particular focus on the squirrel glider, brush-tailed phascogale and spotted-tailed quoll.

The three-year project, worth more than $125,000, will also introduce the NatureMapr citizen science platform to the area.

Albury Conservation Company executive Sam Niedra said the project is made possible by a $120,000 Ross Trust grant, a $5000 donation from the Festival of Folk Rhythm and Life and a partnership with Wodonga Council which has chipped in $10,000 the first year.

"The project commenced in February this year with preparations in full swing to ensure monitoring kicks off in mid to late Autumn," he said. "This includes identifying target species, suitable sites, organising permits and approvals required to access land and conduct wildlife research.

"The data will be useful for informing council's decision making process for urban planning and management of bushland reserves.

"The aim of the project is to help ensure viable populations of endangered species are maintained."
