Our Wildlife Land Trust Sanctuary

We are the proud owners of Left Field Farm, an official Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust Sanctuary, located on Kangaroo Island’s north coast.

Covering 40.5 hectares (100 acres) of native bushland, the property is a dedicated wildlife sanctuary and a residence, primarily used for wildlife rehabilitation and release. Left Field Farm is a sanctuary for orphaned, abandoned and injured animals. It is our intent for the property to continue to be used for these purposes.
