Concept
2790 Wildlife was developed to support coexistence between people and wildlife across the 2790 region. Inspired and informed by the experience of local wildlife carers and rescuers, the project focuses on practical education, community awareness and accessible resources that help residents and visitors better understand how to respond to wildlife encounters and live alongside local species.
Future Direction (2026 and beyond)
The project will continue to explore ways to reach local communities and visitors, including residents, tourists and short-term accommodation guests. Future development may include expanded brochure distribution, additional wildlife awareness resources and accessible guidance on what to do when encountering injured or displaced wildlife.
Project Development
With the 2790 Wildlife website established, the project is now moving into community outreach. The first brochures have been printed and are being distributed within a small part of the 2790 region, with support from Hartley Realty & Lifestyle Properties.
This initial stage will help bring practical wildlife information to the community, with further opportunities for collaboration, resource distribution and community engagement to be explored as the project develops.
