About Us
BRIEF HISTORY
Welcome to Koala Action Gympie Region Inc.
Our group was formed in 2015 by concerned residents, all of whom had koalas on their properties. This group became a public voice for the koalas in the community to educate the general public to support this vulnerable species.
If you would like to join us and make a difference visit our Volunteering page for how you can help.
We hold general meetings of all members once every 3 months at which we have various guest speakers or information sessions relevant to the time of year, such as Breeding Season. We would love to meet you at these. Come along and share your interest with like-minded people.
The more members we have the better. Membership is free, just complete the form below. By becoming a member of KAGR Inc, you will receive regular emails about our activities through our monthly meeting minutes and other notifications.
