Darcy
Northern Nursery Manager

Darcy is fortunate to have grown up in the Adelaide Hills in an area known to the local Peramangk people as Battunga ('the place of large trees'). Seeking to understand how to best protect this special landscape he completed a Certificate III and a Diploma in Conservation and Land Management. In 2024, Darcy decided to start afresh in Launceston, where he completed a Bachelor of Science (Geography and Environment) at the University of Tasmania. 

Darcy is responsible for establishing the Northern Nursery and leading its day-to-day operations. This includes inducting and training volunteers in best-practice seed collection, native plant propagation, and revegetation techniques; developing and maintaining nursery hygiene and biosecurity protocols; and working collaboratively with partners to deliver workshops, training sessions, and community events.

In his free time Darcy enjoys exploring the bush with his dog Freddy. His beverage of choice is an English Breakfast, white with no sugar.
