For our local wildlife, the fire danger has been catastrophic, with many animal shelters and carers experiencing unprecedented demand and in need of donations to sustain them. If you’d like to assist them in their mission, here are some ways you can help:
• Mooroopna Education & Activity Centre is a donation collection point for Dutch Thunder Wildlife Shelter, which is currently caring for injured wildlife.
all the animals, except three ponies that remain unaccounted for, were saved. However, infrastructure and feed have been destroyed. Gunyah’s most urgent needs are animal food, water supply, and fencing to contain animals. Tax deductible financial donations are also welcomed.
