Haley Family Landcare Group Franklin

Group

Franklin 7113
We formed this as a family group in January 2023, with plans for riparian restoration along our Huon River fronted property along the Huon Highway.  Our aim is to remove the large stand of mature Cracked Willows that are invading our property, plant suitable trees along the creek; as previously planted trees have mostly died once tap roots reached the saltwater table, to plant Blackwood and Ovata along the west side of property facing the highway. Significant damage to the creek occurred during the July 2022 floods, with significant road gravel deposited from Maxfields Road and extensive erosion of the creek edges. There are a number of mature Ovata on our property. We are directly opposite North Egg Island. 50 native plants have been planted in the front yard over the last 4 years.  In mid 2023 the willows were successfully poisoned and by Jan 2025 are standing dead, ready to be removed. In January 2026 all the dead willows have been cut down and chipped/mulched and we'll be planting out over 300 trees this year.
