The La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary, situated at La Trobe University in Bundoora (Melways 19G5) has been delivering education experiences for primary, secondary and tertiary students for over 20 years. It is a 30 hectare site that, over 40 years, has develop degraded farm paddocks and recreational facilities into a thriving network of wetlands and woodlands teaming with wildlife!

With classrooms, shelters and a range of outdoor facilities it is an ideal venue for excursions that focus on biodiversity and habitat creation. We can also visit schools to assit them in their habitat creation projects and journey towards ResourceSmart AussiVic certification.

The La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary also runs an indigenous plant nursery, growing over 350 species of plants and supplying councils, schools, nurseries and local residents with a fantastic opportunity to grow their own habitat.

We are also one of Australia’s largest producer of nesting boxes – providing further opportunity to create habitat in your school or garden.

The Sanctuary and nursery are both open to the public Sunday to Friday from 10am to 3pm.
