About Us

We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting and conserving wildlife and their habitats. The Sanctuary is located on 130 acres, including approximately 100 acres Conservation Area and is a member of Humane Society International Wildlife Land Trust and adjacent to Glenbog State Forest. The Sanctuary has over 3 acres purpose-built wildlife enclosures for wombats, macropods, possums, gliders and birds, all monitored by CCTV security cameras. Raymond and Marie Wynan have rescued, rehabilitated and released native animals since 1992 with Marie as a qualified Veterinary Nurse and Animal Studies Certificate 3, attained and trained under Wildlife Veterinarian Dr Howard Ralph.

We carry out an extensive mange treatment program in free-living wombats, covering large areas of private property and State Forest.

We are delighted to have organised and installed NSW’s first trial site of Wildlife Safety Solution, the “Virtual Fencing” along Old Bega Rd near Nimmitabel to reduce roadkill. Sponsored by the Humane Society International and NSW Transport and installed by the assistance of Snowy Monaro Shire Council. Data supplied to Charles Sturt University and Western Sydney University and subsequently the scientific paper "Can virtual fences reduce wombat road mortalities?" was published in Ecological Engineering Journal in 2021.

We have hosted numerous film and documentary production companies to capture native animals in their natural environment.

We rescue, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned native animals as authorised by Wildlife Rescue South Coast.
