With normal feed sources scarce and animals seeking warmth over the cooler months Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) NSW are asking motorists around Grenfell to slow down over winter.
WIRES CEO Leanne Taylor implored local motorists to please slow down during the coming months.
As the days are shorter, the number of cars on local roads at dawn and dusk increases significantly.
Unfortunately the extra traffic also coincides with nocturnal native animals crossing roads.
“Last year WIRES was called to assist nearly 7,000 kangaroos and wallabies and over 800 wombats, with the majority either killed or injured due to vehicle collisions,” Ms Taylor said.
