East Tamar Landcare

East Tamar Landcare was formed in 1992. We are a small but active group of twenty-five members, concerned about the Pipers River and its catchment. Our main focus now is a removal of willows from Pipers River (the photo shows a fitting end to the willows!), and also gorse, blackberry and ragwort eradication. In the past, a lot of riparian fencing and revegetation of the river bank and tributaries was accomplished. The group over the years has expanded to cover the broader East Tamar and the coastal areas, working on projects including coastal rehabilitation, weed removal ie Sea Spurge and Boneseed Blitz, and Clean Up Australia Events and the Catch it in the Catchment. Currently, our main project is extending a boardwalk along the Pipers Rivers at our interpretation centre.

Regular Events:
Annual Ragwort Raid (January). Clean up Australia Day (March), Catch it in the Catchment (November), Boneseed Blitz (September) and regular working bees.
