HELP fundraise for
Tasmania's wildlife
Welcome to Wild Ride!
Wild Ride is Bonorong’s new fundraising campaign where we encourage supporters to do a ‘Wild Ride’ to raise money for wildlife in our care. The funds raised will help run Bonorong’s rescue, critical care hospital, and rehabilitation animal care services.
Ride a bicycle, a scooter, a skateboard, or roller skate, hop on a pogo stick, even wear a costume while you’re doing your Wild Ride! You create your very own Wild Ride with a team or as an individual, with your work mates, friends, or family. Anyone can take part – groups, businesses, and organisations.
How Can I Get Involved?
Want to become a Wild Rider? You can register as an individual, a team, a business or as an organisation. Simply register using the button below, then start planning for your Wild Ride and raising money. You can provide updates and share your progress with your followers as you go!
And if you can’t do your own Wild Ride, there are plenty of other ways to help support animals – you can sponsor a Wild Rider, donate directly or become a Corporate Partner.

Are you looking for something fun to do with the family this winter? 👩👩👦
Consider a Bonorong experience! 😍
The Bonorong Night Tour is our most popular evening group feeding tour. Group sizes are kept small to ensure every participant has plenty of opportunity to interact with the critters. 🌙
You will enter our animals’ world and experience hand-feeding weird and wonderful creatures like Eastern Quolls, Tawny Frogmouths and Short-Beaked Echidnas. You`ll also be able to help your guide feed the Tasmanian Devils their dinner! In Winter, we experience more hours of darkness - that`s more time with out wonderful nocturnal friends!🐾
Can`t make the Night Tour? Consider a daytime Feeding Frenzy, or a short Animal Encounter.☀️
For a more private and intimate experience, consider booking a Private Premium Tour, or if you`re short on time you might enjoy the Bite Size Night Tour. To learn more about our tour options and to book yours now, head to our website - link in our bio! 🥳

🗣 Exciting news!
Original artworks by Hobart-based artist and illustrator Natalia Bennett featuring Tasmania`s top 5 endangered species too often injured on our roads, are now on display at Hobart Airport! 🦅🦘
These stunning pieces not only showcase the beauty of our unique wildlife but also raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
Bonorong CEO Matt Clement had this to say about the situation on our roads:
"Sadly, wallabies and possums account for the significant majority of animals killed or injured on our roads each and every day, with our endangered species being particularly vulnerable to cars as they search for food on the roadside.
Slowing down between dusk and dawn will certainly help to reduce the chance of a collision, but planning your trip so that you avoid driving at night altogether is not only safer for you and your family, it`s guaranteed to reduce the impact cars have on our precious wildlife."
So, plan your trip, drive safe, and help protect our precious wildlife! 🚗💚 By supporting this initiative, you`ll be contributing to a safer and more sustainable future for our furry and feathered friends.
Prints are available for purchase now, with a generous 20% of sales going directly to Bonorong to support our wildlife rescue and conservation work. Head to https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/EnciDesign to check them out!
Let`s work together to make a difference! #wildlifeconservation #Tasmania #sustainability #bonorongwildlifesanctuary
