Landcare Tasmania is launching its fourth landscape-scale project with a plantation restoration workshop on the Tasman Peninsula on Saturday 30th April 2022.
Restoration expert Todd Dudley will talk in detail on plantation restoration. It will include a walk-and-talk in a local plantation that is going to be restored to native vegetation.
This workshop will give you practical knowledge and skills to undertake your own restoration projects. Whether you have your own project or are simply interested in learning more about ecosystems and natural values of the area, this workshop may be of interest to you.

As the launch of Landcare’s South East Landscape Project for 2022, this workshop is also an excellent opportunity to hear first-hand about the project. The project entails a year of planting on farms, fencing, and many workshops in the Tasman and Pitt Water Coal catchments.
So come along to this plantation restoration workshop to learn some valuable skills and to hear what is happening in the region!
