Koala Clancy Foundation plants trees for koalas on farms and private land, creating new habitat and advocating for better protection of wild koalas. To date, with the help of volunteers they have planted over 15,000 trees. We had the pleasure of participating in July 2020. It was extremely fulfilling and the passion of Koala Clancy’s founder Janine Duffy is contagious. It’s for this reason we have chosen to support Koala Clancy and we will donate $5 for every guest towards this wonderful cause.
Koala Clancy Foundation is inspiring travellers and local communities to help ensure a future for wild koalas.
Koala Clancy Foundation is a not for profit incorporated association and registered charity that supports the wild koalas of the Western Plains of Victoria, particularly around the You Yangs and Brisbane Ranges, west of Melbourne.
The aims of the organisation are:
Protection of koalas in the wild through enhancement and protection of their natural habitat by:
– organising travellers and locals to maintain and improve existing Koala habitat;
– educating travellers and the local community of the threats to wild koalas and their environment and the means to address these;
– mobilising the word of mouth and social media reach of the travel community worldwide to speak out in support of wild koalas and their environment;
– involving travellers and the local community in citizen science research into wild koala behaviour; and
creating partnerships with other organisations involved in koala protection, habitat creation and environment protection;
– any other means available.
