WARRAWONG WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

Arborgreen donated some tree guards and landscape tools to help the crew over at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary with their restoration efforts. Here’s a short video put together in late July 2019 of the Mallee Mesh tree guards being installed and one of their resident kangaroos keeping an eye on proceedings!

Arborgreen first noticed in our Facebook feed that Warrawong were seeking local help to build a dingo enclosure to move some of their animals over from Perth to their Adelaide sanctuary. As Arborgreen is based in the Adelaide Hills at Mount Barker, the team wanted to help in any way they could, while also giving them the opportunity to see products at work in a more controlled environment.

The main feeding area contains a row of young trees that have been protected by the trusted age-old method of wrapping in chicken wire secured to steel star pickets. Arborgreen donated new hardwood stakes and Mallee Mesh Tree Guards as a more aesthetic alternative. It developed its mesh tree guards to take the hassle out of installing guards on-site, eliminating cutting rolls of wire in the field, and this was no exception; the volunteer group, having never used the guards before, had the first half-a-dozen guards installed in under two hours.
