We have had the pleasure of having Paynesville Primary School Grade 6 StudentsSimone Turner, Sophie Randall & Shelby Heatley volunteering to help us as a part of their Rotary Community Service Awards.
The girls have helped with cleaning, browse collecting and sorting of seedlings. With a few weeks of work still to go, the girls will be busy helping look after new trees and feeding hungry Koalas. Thank-you to them for their dedicated hard work.
Last month saw the completion of the new outdoor holding pen. With a special thank-you to Derrick Nuttell and Bernie Ryan for their help in the construction. We are very grateful for donated money which has funded this much needed project.
We have also been busy with our Koala browse plantation. Tree planting commenced in May and was finished in June. These trees will provide a critical food source for Koalas in care, for the future. We are very grateful to our very generous Neighbour for donating his land for the Shelter to use. All trees are grown by the Shelter from Island seed.
