Dr Alan Horsup of Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service has put out a desperate call in the search for caretakers for the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat Recovery Project at Epping Forest, Queensland.

Being a caretaker involves a month long stint (or maybe two!) at the scientific national park and tasks include fence checking and monitoring food and water supplies for the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombats.

There is no experience necessary, however a minimum of two people are to caretake in any one session, and one person needs to hold a current First Aid Certificate.

Alan is desperate for caretakers for this December. Unfortunately, people do sometimes pull out at the last moment, so Alan also needs an emergency back up list for these situations.

If you would like further information please email Alan at alan.horsup@epa.qld.gov.au
