Corporates for Koalas
Your company can help save koalas from extinction
Demonstrating corporate social & environmental responsibility can be much more than ticking boxes. It’s an opportunity to bolster employee well-being and team spirit, share company purpose and ethics with the public, and make a real difference for the planet.
Corporates for Koalas is a program that mobilises your ambitious CSR targets. The program engages company teams in educational and inspiring koala conservation events and nurtures a meaningful collaboration that provides your business, employees, and stakeholders with a greater sense of purpose.
Together we can target 4 UN Sustainable Development Goals...
- Clean water and sanitation
- Climate action
- Life on land
- Partnerships for the goals
… to create a better future for koalas and the planet.

Event FAQs
Corporate events typically run from 9:30am to 2:30pm with morning tea and lunch breaks included.
We can accommodate different start/finish times with enough notice, though a 5 hour duration is ideal.
The sooner you get in touch with us, the better, especially for tree planting events. A few months notice is ideal.

All participants should bring a water bottle and wear clothing suitable for the outdoors and all weather conditions.
That’s it! We have everything else covered.
Our event locations vary depending on which activity you choose. We will allocate a meeting location for your event. Your participants will drive here to meet their a Koala Clancy guide. From here, the group will drive in convoy to the activity site.
If you opt for transport inclusion, a bus will collect your team from your office.
At the end of the day, everyone will depart from the activity site and head home in their vehicles or back to your office in the bus provided.

Please consider the following important OHS factors:
- Moderate fitness is essential to ensure the safety of all participants. Our events are held in rural areas, often on farms or bushland with varying terrain, and walking on unsealed or grassy paths for 500m-1km is often required. We endeavor to make our activities as accessible as possible, but unfortunately there are limitations that can’t be avoided. Please get in touch if you have any questions about accessability.
- Our events proceed through all safe weather conditions. Cancellation due to rain, wind, or other weather factors is not permitted unless it poses a safety risk. In the case of unsafe weather conditions, our team will be in touch to discuss rescheduling or cancellation.
- Individual participants are responsible for their own property. Koala Clancy Foundation will not be held accountable for any items lost or damaged during an activity.
- TREE PLANTING: We plant on farms, which can pose various risks unique to the property. Our team will always follow strict safety protocol and ensure that participants are aware of potential risks.
About Koala Clancy Foundation
Koala Clancy Foundation are the leaders in koala conservation in Victoria. We welcome your company to be part of our mission to save our koalas.
Your contribution directly supports:
- Creating habitat: We’re planting 300,000 koala trees by 2030
- Community engagement: We work closely with local communities to educate, inspire and foster pride and resilience in our regional areas
- Koala research: We provide field support to critical koala scientific studies to understand the species, their ecosystem and what they need to survive
Koala Clancy Foundation plants trees for koalas, which means we plant trees in very specific locations, with the health and long life of the tree as paramount. Our plantings are usually linear – along rivers and streams, which is the best koala habitat for the future. Our tree planting projects are 1 to 10 hectares in size (800 to 8000 trees), and over an entire tree planting season we will plant around 40 hectares (30,000 trees).
Trees planted for carbon credits/carbon offsets are planted quite differently. Most of these tree planting projects are vast – 200 hectares to 1 square kilometre minimum (160,000 to 800,000 trees), usually in a block, with species planted for fast growth and high carbon capture potential. Some are planted by direct seeding – which can be very effective – a big machine rolls over the land dropping kilograms of seed. Most of these forests are not koala habitat (although Greenfleet do have an excellent South Gippsland koala conservation project). Some of your money may go to tree planting projects that are not in Australia.
So unfortunately, Koala Clancy Foundation cannot offer carbon credits or carbon offset certificates. Even if we were much bigger, our main purpose in planting the trees is for koalas, and carbon capture is a wonderful bonus.
By planting trees with Koala Clancy Foundation you will help save a koala’s life in the most targetted way possible. You will also help other threatened wildlife. You will form a connection with your trees, be able to photograph them and publish these on your platforms and social media. You will be lowering your carbon emissions impact.
To achieve the best outcome, we recommend you book a tree planting day for your team with us, and also offset your company’s emissions with Greenfleet or Carbon Neutral or a similar company. It’s not expensive.
