Our Wildlife Sanctuary
About Us
We are working collaboratively with other conservation groups locally and across Australia to restore the wildscape to how it is used to be.
Repairing habitat and re-introducing endangered species into protected zones for them to recolonise. Preserving wildlife corridors that allow their safe movement across the landscape.
Our focus is long term. Recognising that climate variability will continue to threaten them, we are fostering diversity and resilience into these populations, so they have the best chance of surviving and thriving into the future.

Wildside Sanctuary spans 15 acres of undulating land bordering Wollemi National Park. The property is comprised of well-established eucalypt and turpentine woodland, with Angophora, Xanthorrhoea and banksias on exposed slopes. The land grades steeply into Cora Creek, which houses waterfalls and gullies lined with native ferns.
