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.
Updates from Bonorong...
Meet Steve! 👋
"Steve" is the name that we at Bonorong have affectionately given to all of the wild Noisy Miners who live in and around our Sanctuary. 😍
The Steves have become known for their bold personalities - sometimes seen sneaking into buildings, pecking ferociously at their reflections in mirrors, and even harassing much larger birds! 🦅
While these outgoing little birds can be a little too daring sometimes, they are native Tasmanian wildlife and are a protected species. It`s important to distinguish them from the unrelated Indian Myna, which is an introduced pest species. 💚
Visitors to Bonorong are sure to have an interaction or two with our loud little friends, the Steves, amongst an array of other delightful native birds who frequent our grounds! 👀

Are you and your family travelling around Tasmania these school holidays? 🚘
Please be safe on our roads and remember to slow down for wildlife! Increased traffic on the roads around these times increases the risk of car strikes for our wild critters. 💔
Bonorong CEO Matt Clement said that almost three quarters of fatal incidents involving Tasmania`s unique wildlife occur on our roads. 🦘
"Wallabies and possums account for the significant majority of animals killed or injured on our roads each and every day. And for our endangered species - particularly the carnivores - that means that they are more likely to be hit by cars as they feast on carcasses left on or by the side of the road.
"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; that`s safer for you and your family and is guaranteed to reduce the impact that cars have on our precious wildlife."
Please be mindful on the roads, and if you do find injured or orphaned animals on your travels, remember that you can call Bonorong`s 24/7 Wildlife Rescue Service any time of the day or night on 0447 264 625 for advice and assistance. ☎️
