Landcare Tasmania is pleased to invite you to a free workshop to learn about ecological restoration. 

Has your land been affected by:

• Floods
• Fire
• Salinity
• Erosion
• Land clearing/land use change?

Ecological restoration is all about helping the land to recover from impacts like these. Restoration can improve biodiversity, ecosystem structure and function, water quality, and habitat, amongst others.

Restoration expert Todd Dudley will talk to us in detail about hands on practices, drawing on the National standards for the practice of ecological restoration in Australia. The workshop will include a walk and talk at a local property, where there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

This workshop will give you practical knowledge and skills to undertake your own restoration projects. It will be beneficial for anyone who is wanting to restore or improve their local patch.

Please wear clothing and footwear suited to the outdoors.

We will begin the workshop at the Turners Beach Community Hall and then move to a local property for a walk and talk.
