Understanding and managing koala habitat

Understanding koala habitat is an important part of koala watching, and knowing how changes in habitat can affect koalas can assist you in recognising when a koala may need care

Friends of the Koala is delivering the next stage of the Koala Watch: community-led koala recovery in the Northern Rivers Project through September. Come along and find out: why Ballina's Koalas are important; how koalas use habitat across the landscape; the trees and vegetation koalas use and why; how koalas respond to habitat disturbance,including droughts, heatwaves, storms and fires; how climate change has affected, is currently affecting and will affect our koalas; what you can do to help support a healthy koala population.

This project is assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust and Local MP for Ballina Tamara Smith.
