Catchment-scale landscape restoration in the south-east.
The South East Landscape Project is all about involving the local community in restoration activities across an entire catchment.
As a part of this project, Landcare Tasmania (with the help of our amazing volunteers) has planted over 7,000 plants in 2022, across 18 locations.
This project also includes 12 events held across the year, all with the aim of bringing our community together to learn important land management skills. These skills can be applied to homeowner properties, reserves, on the farm, and across whole landscapes.
