  • Regeneration at Penny's

    22nd June 2023 |

    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.

    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.
