Join us for a meaningful day of conservation as we help clean up the habitat of our beloved St Kilda Little Penguin colony!
Removing rubbish is crucial - plastic waste can be ingested by penguins causing serious health issues, while debris used in nest-building can prevent proper insulation, leaving eggs dangerously cold and wet.
