Rob Shares His Concerns for Koalas

Wildlife Rescuer, Rob Armstrong shared at last week's meeting, his passionate concerns about the fate of Koala Bears in our area. Rob argues that Koalas are not as plentiful and safe as a species as is suggested in some "official" channels, so he wants farmers, landowners and service groups in the Maryborough area to consider the idea of growing the appropriate gum trees in the form of access corridors between known Koala feeding areas. He also wants our Council to consider launching a public awareness campaign to encourage drivers to slow down to 80kph in areas where koalas may cross main roads.
