How Greenfleet Restores Koala Habitat
Deforestation is a major issue affecting koalas.
Greenfleet has planted legally protected habitat for koalas and other threatened wildlife for over 25 years. In 2024 we planted 460 hectares of new koala habitat.
Our unique approach to native ecosystem restoration means our forests are legally protected for up to 100 years. This ensures koala populations and other wildlife can thrive in our forests for generations.
Our expert Revegetation Team ensures that we plant locally native trees species at our restoration sites to provide wildlife habitat. For koalas, this means species like Blue Gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis) are included in our reforestation projects. Blue Gum is a preferred food source for koalas, insects and birds.
Over their lifetime, these trees can grow up to 50 metres tall with a trunk diameter of up to 2 meters making them an important addition to koala habitat.
