Monarto Safari Park is part of Zoos South Australia, which exists to connect people with nature and save species from extinction. It is routinely involved in a wide range of conservation programs including captive breeding, habitat restoration, biological surveys, creation of insurance populations, studies in reproductive biology, conservation education, corporate and community fundraising, wildlife disease management, translocation and community development to foster alternative livelihoods.
The Park is a great tourist destination in the wider Adelaide Hills region, as well as an important conservation charity. They appreciate support given in creative ways, like provision of weed materials as animal fodder, which allows them to maximise their other resources.
If you have enough appropriate weed material to
fill a trailer or ute tray, please contact Monarto Safari Park about possible collection.
