On any given day, there might be 25 animals in Tanya O’Donoghue’s backyard, saved from a traffic incident or found sick and needing care. It’s been that way for 30 years.
After spending years being a part of bigger organisations, Tanya’s urge to do more to help local wildlife led to the establishment of Warrumbungle Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation a year ago.
With huge demand in the area, the operation is growing, with a triage facility for the wildlife on its way.
“It will look like a bit of a consultation room,” Ms O’Donoghue said.
