Grant to help fund new koala habitat
A community-driven planting program will aid the long-term survival of the local koala population by creating an indigenous tree corridor linking the You Yangs to Little River.
The project, conceived and led by not-for-profit organisation the Koala Clancy Foundation, will be part-funded by the City of Greater Geelong via a $9000 Environmental Sustainability grant.
With the help of volunteers, the foundation plans to plant more than 3000 grassy woodland trees and shrubs along a corridor of privately owned farmland near Little River.
Koala Clancy Foundation president Janine Duffy said the new woodland would help koalas move into fertile, moisture-rich tree areas along the river in times of heat stress such as drought or bushfire.
