Taronga Zoo!
Bush-it began work at Taronga Zoo earlier this month, doing landscaping, revegetation and weeding work along a number of p ath way s, sur ro undin g bushland areas and animal enclosures. The team has just finished working on a path and boardwalk in the area adjacent to the Barbary sheep, leading up to the chimpanzee enclosure. The planting of high-altitude conifers has been consistently monitored leopards. by the snow
Native grasses such as Kangaroo grass and barbedwire grass are also being planted above this in a savannah area. Surrounding bushland will also be worked outside of the animal areas. Led by Terry Hile, only our hardiest staff are working on this project, but an upside of their work is being able to visit the elephants during lunch breaks.
