All proceeds from this program help protect animal habitat in the Parklands

By sponsoring an animal you are supporting the work of the Foundation to protect the animals in the Parklands. This includes:

  • Protecting and preserving threatened species such as Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub
  • Improving pond water quality for birds, fish, turtles and frogs, in the largest freshwater wetland system in metropolitan Sydney
  • Managing pest species such as European carp and introducing native Australian bass into the pond system
  • Planting wetland plants to provide places for feeding, resting, hiding and raising young
  • Nurturing trees and shrubs to provide hollows for roosting and nesting; open canopies for insectivorous bats; twiggy growth favoured by some spiders; a litter layer where invertebrates can thrive; bark of many textures as insect habitat; flowers which attract butterflies; and fruits as food for birds and flying foxes
  • Researching the lives of the Parklands’ inhabitants, such as the Australian White Ibis population
