February 2022: Wildlife Pouches
This month, we are creating wildlife pouches for charities that specialise in the care of Australian animals. These pouches can be donated to charities across Australia, to aid in protecting wildlife that are injured, sick or in need.
Wildlife pouches are a great project for any sewing level, from beginner to advanced. If you're passionate about animals, this is the perfect sewalong for you to get involved in!
Choose to create a pouch for one, or more, of the charities listed below. Each charity has different requirements so just follow their instructions.
Wildcare Australia
The mission and aim of Wildcare Australia Inc is to rescue and care for sick, injured, orphaned and displaced native wildlife with the intention of returning them to the wild. On top of this, they promote the protection of wildlife by maintaining and re-establishing habitats and advising the community on solutions to wildlife problems.

Wilvos QLD
Volunteers at WILVOS supply rescue, rehabilitation and release services to injured, orphaned and distressed native animals. They receive thousands of calls and rescue requests each year and work closely with other wildlife services & organisations including the Australian Wildlife Hospital, local vets and more, to ensure these animals are taken care of.
Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network
The Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network was formed in 2007 by a group of local wildlife rescuers and shelters. They respond to the increasing number of wildlife emergencies in the local region, bring awareness to wildlife issues and help find solutions.
