The group meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at 10am and everyone is welcome to join and participate.
Wildlife in Sandy Point (WiSP)
Sandy Point wouldn’t be the same without its wildlife - koalas, echidnas, wombats, possums and other native animals, together with an amazing range of birdlife. This group aims to advance the health and survival of our native animals, to protect their habitats and bolster the rescue program.
