Testimonials from our Members
"The goal [of this project] is to turn former farmland pasture into a shelter belt. We would like to thank Landcare Tasmania and their donors for enabling this ongoing project that commenced in 2020. We now have planted a total of 300 trees, all being covered under three separate Tasmanian Landcare Fund grants." - Allison Peacock (2024)
"The planting is especially important to prevent our soils from eroding during storm events and providing habitat for the local platypus. I would like to give a big thank you to Landcare Tasmania and the donors to the Tasmanian Landcare Fund for providing the plants, guards, stakes and weed mats." - Michelle Cassar-Smith (2024)
"This is an area of remnant woodland on a very windy farm in far NW Tasmania. The aim is to enhance the remaining trees with a mix of both local Eucalpypt species and understorey wattles and tea trees... Thank you to Landcare Tasmania for the opportunity to complete this project." - Sue Jennings (2024)
"Really pleased with this planting...This is part of an ongoing project, planting further trees to improve riparian zone along entire length of property [on the North Esk River]. So further help is always appreciated. Thank you."- Tara Coker (2024)
