NSW Koala Strategy funds Armidale greenhouse to expand koala habitat | News

The NSW Koala Strategy is supporting a regional partnership with Southern New England Landcare (SNEL) to deliver koala conservation projects in the Northern Tablelands.

As part of this work, SNEL is partnering with the Armidale Tree Group to grow native seedlings to:

  • restore damaged landscapes
  • strengthen habitat corridors and connectivity
  • enable koalas to move safely throughout the Northern Tablelands.

Through this partnership, the NSW Koala Strategy has funded a greenhouse for the Armidale Tree Group, which significantly increases the region’s capacity to grow native seedlings and restore habitat.

Officially opened in April 2024, the greenhouse is now producing an additional 50,000 seedlings each year, bringing the total to around 130,000-150,000 seedlings.
