Gum Leaf Shoots Desperately Needed Daily
As part of our animal rehabilitation work we are constantly looking for fresh supplies.
We desperately need freshly picked, juicy green leaf shoots that are at the top ends of gum branches. We need these daily for koalas firstly, as well as kangaroos and possums.
Its quality, not quantity that we need.
The animals waste any leaf that’s too dry or mature, and the the wasted plant material needs to be disposed of, which means more work and less time to look after injured animals.
Your fresh gum leaf shoots can be dropped off at:
Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre,
455 Cherry Gardens Road,
Cherry Gardens SA 5157
If the front gate is closed when you deliver them, you can put them into the cages on the road in front of Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre.
Thanks so much for your help!
