Wildlife Habitat Group (WHG) was initially formed to preserve wildlife habitat through a focus on iconic species preservation, initially the koala, within the urban and peri-urban areas of Armidale and across the Armidale Regional Council area. Recently our concerns have come to include groundwater management and river-care and nature play.
As pressure increases on native populations through climate change and land-clearing for housing and agriculture, WHG plans to work with relevant bodies to inform and educate about the importance of conserving our native fauna and flora using a range of strategies and to develop productive links with other like-minded groups.
