Environmental Donation

Volunteers at the Koala Hospital are very aware of the need to conserve water. This has sometimes been difficult, however, as the leaf in the containers in the koala yards need to be misted twice daily to provide the animals with the moisture they require, as well as keeping the leaf fresh.

Until recently, volunteers misted the leaves with small spray bottles which constantly required refilling, and were sometimes difficult to use.

Hills Holdings have generously donated a number of large pump spray bottles, complete with harness, for use in the yards.

We at the koala hospital would like to convey our heartfelt thanks to the Managing Director, Graham Twartz, and Warehouse Supervisor, Sean Ackerman of Hills Holdings, for these pumps, which are going to make such a difference not only to the volunteers, but to the ability of the hospital to reduce water usage in the yards.

As you can see here, Jane is finding it much easier and less time consuming to use the spray pump, and the koala doesn’t seem to find it a problem either!!
