Care for Tasmania's wild places, wildlife & cultural heritage

Friends of Acton Park Reserves are working on creating a wildlife corridor of habitat to support the local wildlife population of bandicoots, pademelons, birds, (swift parrots sighted in the area) and other species. The group provides volunteer opportunities for new volunteers and people of all ages and physical abilities.

Native animals are always in need of assistance, either from motor vehicle accidents of events such as fires. Our group care for, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wildlife in the central north of Tasmania.

Our members undertake conservation and maintenance work in the colonies of Little Penguins in the Derwent and D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Alongside other volunteers from Council and private landowners we also assist with population counts and breeding surveys.
