Tasman Landcare's Community Revegetation Project has opened for 2026 and is again 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 and organisations for projects in the Tasman Municipality
A total of 1090 tubestock trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses are available with a maximum allocation of 100 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.
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 larger multi-year projects.
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 at the next Tasman Landcare meeting until the full quota has been allocated.
