Minton Farm is non-profit, voluntary rescue centre for around 300 orphaned and injured animals and birds. It is owned and managed by Mrs. Bev Langley.
Thousands of injured and orphaned creatures are referred to her by RSPCA, Warrawong, Bird Care and Conservation Society, Native Animal Network, and many Vets.
The aim of the Centre is to rehabilitate the rescue and return them to their homes as quickly as possible, if they are 100% fit; otherwise they are taken into permanent care.
Over 7,800 animals and birds have been rescued to date, with more than 300 volunteers trained to assist in the work.
Animals rescued include kangaroos, possums, echidnas, koalas, bats, and lizards. Birds rescued include kookaburras, magpies, owls, hawks, eagles, and parrots. Farm animals rescued include sheep, pigs, ponies, and poultry.
Educational tours and talks are provided to increase community awareness of the effects of habitat destruction upon Australia’s wildlife, and how to help them to survive.dwill are directly responsible for its operation.
Over 200 volunteers have been trained at the centre, ranging from 8 years to 73 years, helping out on a weekly roster to feed and maintain the creatures, and to build enclosures and cat-proof fencing.
Donations are gratefully accepted to assist with feed and veterinary costs. Animals can be sponsored at $35 a year to allow funds allocated for their food to be used for facility improvement.
