How does Emerald Monbulk Wildlife Shelter support wildlife and their habitat?
The Emerald Monbulk Wildlife Shelter is run by Carol and supported by over 60 volunteers. The shelter provides vital care and rehabilitation for a wide range of Australian native animals, including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, galahs, lorikeets, and more. With a deep commitment to wildlife conservation, Carol and the team works tirelessly to give injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance at life.
How our project funding supported Emerald Monbulk Wildlife Shelter
Carol Seeger was thrilled to use her funding for bird and kangaroo feed as well as kangaroo transport bags for when she does rescues.
There are many ways to help our wildlife and we get lots of calls a week with concerned Members of Public wanting to help. You can do this by reporting injured and orphaned wildlife or donating funds so that we can continue our programs and provide ongoing support to wildlife shelters.
