Natural Sites


A natural site is one where National Trust of Australia (Queensland) conducts environmental or wildlife conservation programs.  This includes the iconic Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Hospital that participates in world leading research and threatened species breeding programs.

National Trust in Queensland is defined as an environmental charity and remains very committed to our natural sites and the value of our conservations efforts.

These sites are also our conservation or nature-based properties that have limited public access including our newest property Garima Conservation Reserve in Currumbin Valley.  This special property will become an important site for our bristlebird conservation program, as well as land regeneration work on the expansive 27 hectare rainforest property.

Our Gum Plantations are also a significant part of what we do a the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to feed the +50 koalas in our care, as well as the nearly 500 koalas treated annually through the Wildlife Hospital.  We have a dedicated team of gum cutters that complete this challenging and manual work to ensure our koalas get the very best nutritious gum leaves to enjoy.
