Koala Tree Planting

A Koala Tree Effort

Fauna, Newsletters, The Scoop

Deloitte Ltd has recently donated a few thousand trees to Aussie Ark and Hunter Region Landcare Network. 

The trees donated to Aussie Ark will be used to enhance the mid story areas in their enclosures providing habitat for the smaller critters Aussie Ark is breeding, the remaining trees consisting mostly of White Box (Eucalyptus albens), Ribbon Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) and Rough Barked Apple (Angophora floribunda) are available for landholders in the Upper Hunter area wishing to plant some Koala food species (Ribbon Gum and White Box). 

The trees are in Hiko trays of 40 plants (I can do half trays but splitting any smaller than that is a pain), if you are in the area on the map below and wish to plant some of these contact Paul on upperhunterlandcare@gmail.com.

We are hoping to have more trees and more variety available next Autumn

Koalas in the upper Hunter area are known from Barrington Tops and Coolah Tops with recent sightings in the Timor area like this one sighted a couple of weeks ago at Timor during a fire, this one stayed in this tree most of the day and moved out (hopefully to an unburnt area) overnight.
