Community Revegetation Project 2024

Tasman Landcare's Community Revegetation Project is on again this year aimed at improving our landscapes, biodiversity and water quality by getting more native trees and shrubs growing in the Tasman Catchment.

It is open to property owners / organisations for projects in the Tasman Catchment (Forcett through to the Peninsulas).

A total of 2000 tubestock trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses are available with a maximum allocation of 200 per applicant. Only plants native to south-east Tasmania will be supplied.

Guards, stakes and jute mats are not available - you will need to provide these (or similar measures) to protect your plants from our charming local wildlife until they have established.

  • Project Run By: Tasman Landcare Group
  • Project Background:

    This project has been running for a number of years subject to available funding and has resulted in a numerous new shelter belts, enhancement of riparian vegetation, restoration of degraded areas, stabilisation of unstable slopes and erosion control. It is typically aimed at small/medium projects (up to a couple of hundred trees/shrubs) but can also assist with a larger multi-year project.
  • Project Aims:

    The project is aimed at:

    • enhancing/restoring native riparian vegetation
    • creating / improving native fauna habitat 
    • creating linkages to reserves and remnant vegetation
    • extending and improving the condition of native vegetation
    • planting a shelter belt
    • controlling erosion
    • rehabilitating and enhancing vegetation impacted by fire

    (projects for other reasons will be considered)

    If you have an area you own (or have permission from the landowner) which needs revegetating please follow the application instructions. If you need further information please get in touch.

    Applications will be assessed in May. 

    Later applications will be accepted if the full quota of plants hasn't been allocated.
