Land for
Wildlife
One way you can help is by joining the
Land for Wildlife program. This voluntary program is run under the
guidance of the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service. Participating
properties receive assistance from groups such as Bushcare and local
council authorities. On joining the voluntary scheme you are guided
on the best practice to manage your property to encourage wildlife
habitat. Through this scheme you can contribute to the release of
rescued animals by providing a safe release site for them. If you
are interested in joining this voluntary service please contact your
local council, Queensland Parks & Wildlife or the WILVOs.
WILVOs Release
Program
If you do not want to join the Land for
Wildlife program but feel you would still like to contribute to
native animal release we would like to here from you. The WILVOs
Release Program is always on the look
out for new areas to release. We feel that the release of our
animals in care is just as important as caring for them. So drop us
an email or phone our hotline (see contacts).
Our release officers will be in contact with you and they will come
out and see what we can release. We are also always needing a
hand in releasing. If you are not afraid of heights perhaps you
could help putting our nest boxes up in trees. Or moving our
trailer around to new sites. Do you like talking to new
people? Well maybe you would like to help by talking to our
property owners and looking at what we can place there.
If contributing to a release is not
what you would prefer to do you can still help out by letting us
know what animals you have in your area. Please take the time
to explore the Animals in my area page (See How I can help > Become
a volunteer > Animals in my area).
