Volunteers
Needed
Help
monitor and protect koalas
in Mundoonen Nature
Reserve
The NSW National Parks &
Wildlife Service (NPWS) is
currently seeking volunteers
to take part in a new koala
survey program to monitor the
koala population in Mundoonen
Nature Reserve.
A small population of koalas
has been identified in
Mundoonen Nature Reserve
however little is known about
their current density and
distribution. These surveys
will help NPWS better manage
activities such as pest
control programs and
prescribed burns to minimise
impacts on koalas.
Volunteers will have the
opportunity to:
· Be trained in survey
techniques including scat and
vegetation identification
· Explore their local
parks with like-minded people
· Contribute to the
management of an iconic
threatened species
Volunteers need to be over the
age of 18 and available for
one weekend day every two
months. Volunteers should be
fit and healthy as surveys may
involve long days walking over
difficult terrain to access
survey sites.

register your interest contact
