Major Road Projects Victoria brought some much-needed manpower to help support Moonlit Sanctuary’s Tasmanian devils recently.
Along with staff from Seymour Whyte, the Clyde Road Upgrade team was on the shovels early morning in Pearcedale to help revitalise the enclosure of the Sanctuary’s famous old devil Ronald.
With nearly 250,000 visitors attending the sanctuary in 2024, the preserve is home to a number of Australian animals including the Tasmanian devil, koalas, wombats, gliders, dingoes and quolls amongst others.
MRPV crews also shovelled in some donated mulch to the nearby Berwick Healthcare on Clyde Road, ensuring any trees removed on its projects are carefully reused for the benefit the community.
For trees that had to be removed on the Clyde Road Upgrade, to make way for the new lanes and shared user paths being built, the team has found a number of local organisations, schools and charities to utilise this wood and give it a second life elsewhere locally.
The project aims to reuse and recycle the trees for a range of uses including nesting and wildlife habitats for community gardens and parks.
The donated mulch was part of the project’s requirements to minimise the removal of trees where possible and reuse and recycle all tree material that has to be removed.
