Wildbark is Canberra’s newest nature-based learning centre.
21 November 2022
Canberrans of all ages can discover more about native landscapes and wildlife with Wildbark, an innovative nature-based learning centre, now open.
Located in Throsby, Wildbark serves as the gateway to the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary is Australia’s first fox, cat and rabbit free conservation area dedicated to restoring critically endangered Box-Gum woodland.
Visitors can learn about the conservation work taking place and the threatened plant and animal species the Sanctuary serves to protect.
Wildbark offers guided tours, daily animal talks and story time, and educational and creative experiences run by leading experts and artists.
There is also a café and a children’s nature play area.
Wildbark is a joint effort of the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust (WWT), the ACT Government, Odonata Foundation and the Australian National University.
“Wildbark will offer the Canberra community the opportunity to connect with nature”, Woodlands and Wetlands Trust president Alison Russell-French said.
“Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary is unique and now home to species like the Eastern Bettong and Eastern Quoll that have been extinct in this region for over 100 years.”
Wildbark profits will help fund the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust's conservation efforts.
