Who we are

We work cooperatively as volunteers alongside Parks and Wildlife Service, Derwent Estuary Program, Private landholders and Kingborough Council.

What we do

We undertake conservation and maintenance work in the colonies of Little Penguins in the Derwent and D'Entrecasteaux Channel. This work will increase the number of suitable nesting sites, control weeds and plant native habitat plants to improve the condition of the colonies. Alongside other volunteers from Council and private landowners, we also assist other Little Penguin conservation work such as population and breeding surveys, building artificial burrows and other work as needed.
