Farmers concerned over koala welfare are setting aside land for permanent safe koala corridors from northern New South Wales to the Queensland border.

Bangalow Koalas, the organisation behind the initiative, have planted nearly 54 thousand trees since February 2020.

Bangalow Koala president Linda Sparrow says they are hearing from more farmers who want to create wildlife corridors in response to the 30 thousand koalas that died in last summer’s bushfires.
