Each year we grow thousands of seedlings in our Grafton nursery of koala preferred species and give them away to be planted on private property in a bid to grow more koala habitat in NSW.
Koalas spend most of their life moving from tree to tree in a very large area called their home range. They eat about half a kilo of leaves a day. Young healthy trees are an important food source. Before planting, download our factsheet for tips to give your seedlings the best chance of survival.
Planting trees and encouraging the natural regeneration of trees can augment and enhance habitat for koalas, particularly in areas where habitat has been fragmented through agriculture and development. Download our factsheet to help plan your planting, and details about preferred species.
We donate around 25,000 seedlings a year for local planting projects supporting koala populations on the North Coast. We have donated more than 150,000 koala feed trees to Koala Conservation Australia for distribution to local landowners and community groups over the past five years.
