Darling Ranges Wildlife Shelter Day Trip

The Darling Range Wildlife Shelter to help their team of fantastic volunteers protect our local wildlife, by assisting with a range of volunteer maintenance tasks!

What we will be doing:

We will be assisting the maintenance team in completing tasks around the shelter. Our biggest job for the day will be fixing banners to the fencing around the joey enclosure, to protect the baby kangaroos from the attention of unwanted visitors, who may cause them stress as they grow and recover. We will also be assisting with other grounds and maintenance tasks as required.

Who we will be supporting: 

Darling Range Wildlife Shelter (DRWS) is a totally volunteer and not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to rehabilitate native wildlife and promote the value of biodiversity.

DRWS volunteers rescue, provide care and rehabilitate Australian native wildlife in need including threatened, endangered and migratory species. Our aim is to work towards their release back into their natural environment. Each year we record around 1000 wildlife admissions.
