Enhancing Koala Habitat

Protect important koala habitat and extend revegetation efforts across the landscape, allowing koalas to move safely through the environment.

Approximately 80% of koala habitat has been decimated since European settlement. Of the remaining 20%, most occurs on private land. By supporting Landcare, you support the preservation and creation of koala habitat.

Your donation helps protect and create koala habitat and improve the health of creeks, streams, and river frontages in South Gippsland.
