Tasmanian Land Conservancy
@tasland
We care for nature on our land and in partnership with private landholders throughout Tasmania.
#Welcome Brenda & Rob to our #LandforWildlife program! The property 'was like a broom plantation' when they first took it on. Broom plants are an invasive shrub, a declared weed under Tas Biosecurity Act 2019. After yrs of mgmt, it is hard to believe that it was anything other than healthy #forest.
Bridget Webster won the inaugural Island Nature #Writing Prize with her story, ‘Like all good fruit’. The prize included a residency on our Sloping Main Reserve. Read about her time spent on the #Tasman Peninsula at islandmag.com/read/to-let-... @islandmag.bsky.social
Applications close tomorrow, 22nd July 2026, for our Head of Philanthropy & Engagement role! This is a great opportunity to shape how people connect with, support and champion #nature #conservation in #Tasmania. Find out more at tasland.org.au/careers-and-opportunities/
#NationalTreeDay: A Conservation Collaboration, between Handmark & TLC, open through to 03/08/26. With work by Peter Gouldthorpe, Melissa Smith, Helen Mueller, Julie Payne, David Edgar, Max Mueller, Olivia Moroney, Adrian Barber, & Melanie McCollin-Walker. Opening times & more info: handmark.com.au
@utas.edu.au Sustainability team is leading the Inveresk Ecological Restoration Project, which aims to create a #biodiverse site. They are looking for #volunteers to join their planting sessions every Monday, 10:30am - 1pm until early Sept. more info: events.humanitix.com/national-tre...
It’s been a remarkable yr of #conservation #science here at the Tasmanian Land Conservancy. We’d love to share some of our insights with you at our 2026 #ConservationScience Symposium. 1pm, 20/08, in Hobart, #Tasmania. We will also be streaming online! Register at events.humanitix.com/tlc-scisymp-26
Our beautiful state is also well known for its large and iconic national parks and reserves. Despite this, some species that call Tasmania home are still under threat of disappearing forever. That’s where TLC can help. Our organisation protects nature on private land in #Tasmania.
A reminder for #LandForWildlife members & #WildTracker partisipants! There's still time to complete the 3rd & final survey in our research pship w @utas.edu.au & James Cook Uni. As a thank you, you can go into the draw to win a #wildlife camera: survey123.arcgis.com/share/a5807b...
This #NAIDOCWeek, we encourage you to learn and use palawa kani. Why not start with these beautiful wildlife names? We're grateful for the work of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre in restoring the language, and thank them for generously sharing their knowledge with us.
3-4 yrs after #hydrological #restoration works at Long Point, the #landscape is continuing to recover. New photos from our project partners at Nature Glenelg Trust show #saltmarsh rapidly regenerating. Read more at linktr.ee/tasland
#Conservation begins with noticing. Last month, #LandforWildlifeCoordinator Phil Wise joined the Australian #NatureJournalling Association's retreat at Steele's Island, where people from across #Aus gathered to connect with nature through sketching, writing & reflection.
Much of Tasmania’s wildlife lives on private land. 650+ species are threatened, and around half the state is privately owned. Landholders are part of the solution. tasland.org.au/donate #EOFY
The impact of #fallowdeer on our reserves is evident. In Feb, Claire Foster, from ANU Fenner School, assessed vege & soil at Five Rivers Reserve long-term exclosure plots to understand how herbivores affect these #ecosystems & how controlling deer may assist veg recovery.
🔈 to hear the sweet melody of nature recovering after 🔥 at our Piano Coves Reserve. In early 12/2025, #bushfires burned across much of our Reserve. Recovery will take time, but this is a fire-adapted enviro, & vege will continue #regenerating as natural processes unfold.
'I think the more you know about a place, the more you care about it.’ On his property in Tasmania’s north, John is using wildlife cameras to better understand what’s there. Seeing what lives on the land changes how you care for it. tasland.org.au/donate #EOFY
Brrr! It's officially time to get #cozy, which means our #Winter newsletter is here! Our quarterly #newsletter is out now and includes stories of inspiring landholders, new #research and music inspired by nature. Read it via our website, tasland.org.au/nl
‘We thought it would take decades – but it started changing within a few years.’ On Bruny Island, Fiona and Graeme removed fences and restored habitat. Wildlife followed. ‘It feels like the land is coming back to life.' tasland.org.au/donate
Recently, a #WildTracker fauna camera on one of our #MidlandsConservationPartnership properties helped unravel an unexpected mystery. When retrieving survey cameras, our #ecologist noticed one had been removed from its star picket — no easy feat given the secure strap and knot used.
In February, Phil Wise, our sth #LandforWildlife Coordinator, visited #FlindersIsland to sign up some new members to the program. Teaming up with local #volunteer assessor Kat Hopkins, the duo managed to sign up 9 new properties in the week!
What happens when #farmers & #conservationists work together? In #Tasmania’s #Midlands, something pretty special. Three more local #farming families have joined the #MidlandsConservationPartnership...
“Three resin bees are roosting” 🎶 might be fitting for a new wildlife-themed Christmas carol! Thanks to everyone who sent guesses in about what these bees are up to in this photo last week. And happy #WorldBeeDay for yesterday!
‘It’s been so exciting to see birds, #bandicoots and #wallabies come back. None of this #wildlife was here before.’ In northern #Tasmania, Tara and Steve have restored #habitat – and wildlife is returning. tasland.org.au/donate
Special thanks to our guest speakers Bec Sheldon & Mark Bachmann from NGT, Mark Hovenden w Beth Yates & Michael Chadderton from @utas.edu.au & AMRF, & Sebastien Comte from Primary Industries and Regional Development. This project was made possible with the support of the Ian Potter Foundation.
Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for the first of our Building #EcosystemResilience Project field day at Silver Plains Reserve. It was a very insightful day, and we would like to say thanks to our presenters for providing fantastic interpretation.
Cold, sunshine or a bit of both, we have our team covered, literally, thanks to Patagonia beanies, caps and wide-brims hats for the team to stay sun safe and warm when out in the field. @patagonia.com
#GardensforWildlife member, Patrick at Port Sorell snapped this curious #bee behaviour from some resin bees that live in his #garden. Share your funniest/creative reason why the bees are doing this – we’ll share our favourite guess in the next week...
