The Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network is preparing for the cooler weather and is in need of some pouches to help keep orphaned joeys warm.
Anyone who is interested in helping wildlife but simply doesn’t have the time to volunteer regularly can help by sewing pouches to donate to the network. It would help ease the workload.

When we attend a rescue and there’s a joey like little Billi (pictured), we need to put them straight into a pouch to help decrease their stress levels and provide them with warmth and security.
Our volunteers are stretched to the limit so we now need to rely on our community to get behind us.
If you can sew and are interested in supporting the wildlife in care, please visit our website www.mrwn.org.au
