Community Education on Koala Conservation
Koala Rescue Redlands & Surrounds Inc. believes that protecting koalas is not just about rescues — it’s about building awareness and empowering the community to take action. Through our education programs, we share knowledge that helps people live alongside koalas and protect their future.
Why Education Matters
Koalas face ongoing threats from habitat loss, dog attacks, vehicle strikes, and disease. By educating the community, we can:
Reduce preventable injuries and deaths.
Encourage koala-friendly backyards and neighbourhoods.
Inspire conservation action across schools, families, and local groups.
Our Education Programs
We provide a range of education activities designed to reach all parts of the community:
School Visits – Interactive talks and presentations that teach students about koalas, their habitat, and how young people can help.
Community Workshops – Sessions for residents covering koala-friendly gardening, responsible pet ownership, and spotting signs of illness.
Events and Stalls – Information stands at community events where volunteers answer questions, hand out resources, and promote conservation actions.
Awareness Campaigns – Social media, newsletters, and public campaigns to keep koala protection front of mind.
Living with Koalas
Part of our education is showing people simple actions they can take in everyday life, such as:
Keeping dogs secured at night.
Planting koala-friendly trees and protecting habitat corridors.
Driving with extra care in koala zones, especially at dawn and dusk.
Reporting sick or injured koalas immediately to our 24/7 hotline: 0435 504 222.
Partner with Us
We welcome schools, community groups, and businesses who would like to host a session or collaborate on awareness campaigns. By working together, we can spread vital knowledge further and inspire more people to take action.
