# Daylesford Wildlife Rescue Trust

> We started out of a shed in 2016 taking calls about injured possums and wombats, and we still run the roster the same way, off a whiteboard and a mobile phone. The appeal covers what the shelter itself can't stretch to each year.

Based in 14 Vincent Street, Daylesford VIC 3460.

## About

The trust operates two rescue vehicles and a small treatment room behind the Daylesford Neighbourhood House, staffed entirely by volunteers who take turns on the after-hours phone line. Everything raised through the appeal goes straight back into the animals that come through our door, most of them hit by cars or caught up in fencing along the Midland Highway.
