Trowunna has a great range of marsupials, birds and reptiles on site. Even though we do not collect from the wild but rather rescue and rehab wildlife. Trowunna has become such an animal friendly place that much of the wildlife is drawn to the sanctuary as a natural safe haven

Trowunna is also committed to caring for injured
and orphaned wildlife.
The park then becomes a release site for many of these animals through a process called soft release. Releasing straight into the wild, hard release, often doesn't work. Soft release is where we care for the animal at the park and after a while let it roam freely around so we can monitor the progress. Then release is more successful.

We have rescued and released...
Wombats

Wallabies

Possums

Birds of Prey

...and more!

Some animals will never be able to be released into the wild. These animals find a sanctuary at Trowunna. As you walk around the park you will find some of the bird enclosures empty, that's because these birds can come and go as they please.

If they are with us for their whole life we give them the best possible quailty of life we can.

Trowunna has become a sanctuary for healthy animals as well. Animals such as potoroos, bandicoots, green rosellas and many different types of ducks have made Trowunna their home.

Trowunna has always been interested in conservation.
Conservation is promoted through education. Trowunna is very active in breeding animals that are declining in the wild. Currently Trowunna is the most successful place for the breeding of Tasmanian Devils.

Koalas

Education is vital to any conservation effort. In Tasmanian history the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) became extinct because of the lack of education about it. Trowunna is a great place for school groups to learn about nature in a natural environment.

Trowunna leads the way in devil breeding and management and runs devil care courses for zoo keepers from all over the world.
