Description
We live in the beautiful Yarra Valley and are a Wildlife Shelter. We care for mainly wombats and soft release Possums, Kangaroos, Gliders and Wombats. Currently we have an enclosure that needs to be constructed due to additional housing being required.
If you are passionate about animals and have some practical skills to assist with construction of an enclosure , reducing foliage in pre-release enclosures, cleaning current enclosures and collecting grass for wombats, this may be your workaway and we would love to hear from you.
