All of our kangaroos are soft released and planned in advance as a progressive release with support feed and medical assistance, this is especially required in the current environmental conditions. Each animal is different psychologically and needs different levels of support. Due to the long drought and now bushfires there is no food left for our wildlife and we now have to support feed as the forest slowly regrows and recovers  ​
