Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation
Step Up as a Volunteer Coordinator
Want to make an even bigger impact for our
local koalas? In 2026, we’re looking for passionate volunteers to step into coordinator roles for our tree planting days. We are looking for people who can lead planting events on both weekday and weekends, this includes organising the day, leading volunteers, and ensuring thousands of indigenous trees are planted in line with our plans. You’ll be trained and supported every step of the way. This is a unique and rewarding chance to build leadership and teamwork skills, connect with your community, and make a lasting difference for our local environment.

The Countdown is on! We’ll be kicking off this year’s tree planting season on #wildkoaladay, May 3. Our first event is already fully booked but there are many, many more!
Help us combat the impacts from climate change, roadkill and habitat loss, improve your wellbeing and come tree planting with us! We need you more than ever before to plant 30,000 indigenous plants this year, to help our koalas. Our tree planting events are fun for the whole family, all ages and abilities!
Volunteers: Be the first to hear about our news and events and become a member via our website or simply register for one of our events: www.mpkoalas.org.au
Local businesses: Become a sponsor of our program - we always welcome new local partners and every tax-deductible donation helps us plant more trees! Email us at mpkoalatreeplanting@outlook.com
It takes a village to do what we do! More than 70% of koala habitat is on private property on the MP, so we all share the responsibility for our wildlife! Check out our website or follow us on socials for all the details. We cannot control what happens elsewhere but we can influence what happens in our own backyard 🐨💚🌳
The Peninsula Climate Alliance drafted a series of questions on the Candidates’ platforms in the up-coming 2026 Nepean By-election, on 2nd May 2026
The questions cover issues of considerable importance to our remarkable natural environment and the negative impacts of climate change.
CANDIDATE REPLIES CAN BE SEEN ON THE PCA WEBSITE:
www.peninsulaclimatealliance.org/nepean-bi-election-candidates
As of 16 April, we’ve received responses from four Nepean By-election candidates: Anthony Marsh (Liberal), Sianan Healy (Greens), Tracee Hutchison (Independent) and Peter Angelico (Libertarian).
Darren Hercus from One Nation did not respond.
We await responses from the three recently announced candidates: Reade Smith (Sustainability Australia), Milton Wilde (End mass immigration - Reform Australia), and Renee Thompson (Legalise Marijuana).
While both Healy and Hutchison note their prior association with PCA, we emphasise that all candidates received the same information, and no preferential treatment was given to any candidate.
PCA will not be producing a scorecard, or how to vote card, but will leave it to you to read the unedited responses and decide how you wish to use the information.
Any further responses will be added as received.

🚨 Injured Koala – Langwarrin South 🚨
A koala was hit by a vehicle last night at the corner of Robinsons Rd and West Rd (area circled in the image). It climbed high into a nearby tree but has moved on overnight and has not yet been located.
The koala is injured and needs urgent care - it could now be anywhere in the surrounding vicinity.
If you are in Langwarrin South, please keep a lookout and check trees as well as roadsides.
📍 If you see a koala: • Comment on this post with the location, or contact local wildlife rescuer Michelle Thomas on 0435 822 699.
