Long-term partnerships where possible
All harvesting is undertaken by our trained keepers
Only small branches are selectively pruned
Sustainable harvesting encourages healthy regrowth
Access arrangements are organised directly with landholders
For landholders who can provide high-quality browse and ongoing harvesting access, Moonlit Sanctuary can offer annual family passes and, where appropriate, may also assist with replanting programs to help establish future browse resources.
By partnering with us, you’ll be supporting more than just the koalas in our care. Moonlit Sanctuary is proud to partner with the Western Port Biosphere Foundation on the Koala Corridor Project, which has already helped plant more than 8,500 trees to restore and reconnect koala habitat across the Western Port region. By sourcing browse from established trees on local properties, we can continue feeding our resident koalas while allowing these newly planted habitat corridors to grow and thrive for future generations of wild koalas.
If you have suitable trees or know someone who might we’d love to hear from you!
