Bangalow Koalas

Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas is a community group devoted to protecting the village’s unique koala population, thought to carry a gene pool that may help facilitate the species’ future survival.

What started as a handful of concerned neighbours determined to prevent a 400-metre stretch of 30-year-old koala food trees from deteriorating or being forcibly removed, has grown into an active, change-creating community group with more than 100 members lead by Bangalow local, Linda Sparrow.

With a long-term goal of creating a Koala Wildlife Corridor to encourage koalas out of urban areas and away from threats, Bangalow Koalas has planted 19,200 trees in 21 months.

As a result, the corridor has already expanded and connected existing sections of koala habitat from Byron Bay and surrounds, across the hinterland out towards Repentance Creek and is now heading further westward to Tenterfield and south towards Grafton.

Your donation will help maintain natural habitats and ensure a future for the koala population of Bangalow.
