It seems that no-one really knows. While they are now a threatened species in eastern Australia, we don’t really know if they are common or rare locally.
Northern Tablelands Local Land Services (LLS) has commissioned two teams of researchers to find out more about local koalas. LLS can use this information to direct conservation efforts more effectively. Stringybark Ecological will be searching in three specific areas of the Tablelands for the next 6 months and we need your help!
Can you help us?
During September we will be conducting a series of workshops to show you how to find and record koalas. We would love to have you involved. You can help by:
- Signing up to attend a workshop,
- Allowing us to come on to your property to look for koalas (you can join us and we will show you how to spot scats, give you a tree species list and advise you on keeping your koalas healthy),
- Recording koala sightings directly to the Atlas of Living Australia (we’ll show you how at the workshops).
