HIDDEN IN THE HILLS Sydney Wildlife Carers
by Lachlan Turner
It is more than likely that when driving along roads in and around the Sydney Hills District that you may have seen an animal on the side of the road that has been hit and possibly killed by a car .
It is also likely that you may not be aware of a group of dedicated wildlife carers , Sydney Wildlife , who are called out to help these animals and in some instances they may still be alive .
Often the wallaby , possum or wombat may be a female carrying a joey . Frequently , the joey survives the impact that results while still in its mother pouch .
There selfless people come to the rescue of our native wildlife and wherever possible will
look after any orphaned young , nurturing them until they are old enough to fend for themselves . They then return them back into the bushland nearby to where they were rescued .
Sydney Wildlife answers the phone 24 hours and attends to any animal or bird that may be injured in some way . These compassionate people perform their caring task , usually in their own home and frequently at their own expense . You can contact them on 9413 4300 .
Sydney Wildlife can also assist with advice on how local residents are able to provide habitat protection for many native creatures , including reptiles , echidnas , possums , koalas and birds , that may venture into residential backyards , and need protection from prowling night time predators such as domestic cats and dogs .
