We are a family team who live on the fringe of the Whian Whian state forest on 66 acres of mountainous bush land in Northern NSW Australia.

 

We are volunteers who care for most species of Native wildlife injured or orphaned and our aim is to rehabilitate them to be able to fend for themselves and be released back into the wild.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our journey into this began by finding a injured Possum who had been hit by a car, we where put in contact with a local carer who asked us if we would like to join the organisation, so we signed up and over a period of time attended training on the different species and learned what to do.

Why we do this is a question we are asked often. The answer is very simple, we love Australian wildlife and have astrong calling to do what we can in order to protect and conserve the dwindling numbers.

 

 

We are fortunate enough to have a forested property in order to do this with an already established population of both common andendangered species.

 

 

 

 

Although we love what we do it does come at a cost both financially and personally.As we are volunteers all our enclosures , equipment and food is largely paid for by us.

 

 

 

On a personal level raising and rescuing wildlife is a 24 hour a day job hich means that we are restricted to where we go, when we go, and if we go, so having a personal life can be a difficult juggling act.


 

 

 

 

 

 

We see and experience joy and sadness on an almost daily basis which can take its toll emotionally.

 

 

 

But after saving an animals life and seeing it returned to its natural environment in the forest , we are reminded why we do this.

 

 

 

 

 

We feel privileged and are very fortunate.

We would also like to acknowledge the amazing support and help we have had from the Lismore Vet Clinic who have been an invaluable support to both us and the native wildlife of this region.
