Balnarring to the Bay planting day, Balnarring

Help us improve koala habitat in the beautiful coastal town of Balnarring on the Mornington Peninsula

Join Merricks Coolart Landcare and Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation and spend the morning with us planting hundreds of koala food trees and other native trees and shrubs to expand koala habitat at Saltbush in Balnarring.

Habitat loss is the leading threat to koalas and other wildlife—so let’s take action together!

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about our local environment and wildlife, including koalas, while making a real difference in restoring their habitat.
