In a significant stride toward bolstering Tasmania's native seed resilience, Landcare Tasmania recently hosted the Seed Resilience and Community Seed Bank Meeting.  This forms part of our Seed Resilience Project supported by the Tasmanian Government.

Landcare Tasmania, Zoodoo, Destination Southern Tasmania, Manheim-Cox Automotive, Landcare Australia, and the Pages Creek Catchment Group all contributed to the planting of 950 plants in 1 hectare at ZooDoo this August.

The Huon/Channel Catchment Restoration Project is officially underway in the Huon Valley & Kingborough. Congratulations to the following member groups who have received funding to undertake on-ground works to improve landscape and riverine health in south-east lutruwita/Tasmania:

Landcare Tasmania’s Seed Resilience Project was developed in response to a forecasted decrease in native plant propagation and an increasing demand for local provenance plants for biodiverse revegetation projects in Tasmania.

For the past two years we have been delivering Feral Cat information sessions with our partners to the community across Tasmania as part of our landscape projects. Our information session on 17th June in Triabunna was well attended and very informative. With support from specialists including partner the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions, we learnt how devastating feral cats, stray cats and even pet cats are to wildlife. On average a feral cat can kill 791 animals a year.

This week we enjoyed a picturesque visit to Penny Laksey's property to have a look at the natural regeneration happening along the kukuninka/Leven River in North West lutruwita.

With the assistance of Landcare Tasmania and some serious elbow grease from these amazing farmers, the site has responded positively. A concerted effort by Penny and husband Steve through fencing, offstream watering, natural regeneration and active revegetation has resulted in a functioning and healthy riparian zone, improved water quality and healthy stock and pasture.

Last Saturday, on May 20th, Landcare Tasmania and Tasmanian Land Conservancy joined forces to host a very popular and well-received workshop in Strahan. The workshop was a response to the community's keen interest in learning about environmental weeds and our precious Tasmanian native flora and fauna.

Landcare Tasmania recently hosted two exciting training workshops aimed at building community capacity to successfully manage invasive weeds.

We kicked off our May Weed ID workshop series with a fantastic session in Woodbridge.  Workshop-ers brought several specimens of weeds from their backyards for us to identify.

Last Saturday's Seed Collection and Propagation workshop was a great success.  We were joined by members of the Bicheno Landcare Group and the Seymour Community Action Group Inc. The participants enjoyed sorting seed from their local areas and then planted this seed in tree tubes ready to take home and look after. These plants will go directly to the on-ground works that both groups are doing,  helping to improve the biodiversity and resilience of the local ecosystems.
