Nature restoration. Landscape resilience. Sustainable futures.

Collaborative action for healthy landscapes and seascapes, protected natural values, and sustainable livelihoods and lifestyles.

Our Story > Our Strategy >

We work to keep the natural and productive landscapes of south-eastern Tasmania healthy over the long term. We play a key role in building partnerships, securing and directing investment, connecting knowledge and expertise to action and increasing the capacity of others to engage in NRM activities.

Tasmania’s southern region covers 2.5 million hectares of land and is bounded by the Southern Ocean. It is recognised globally for its healthy, intact and diverse natural landscapes and productive land and seascapes. Our region’s wealth of natural resources underpins southern Tasmania’s identity as well as its economic, social, and environmental wellbeing.

Featured Projects

Rivers to Ramsar

Our Rivers to Ramsar project is restoring and rehabilitating riparian zones across public and private land along three waterways feeding into Pitt Water-Orielton Lagoon, a Ramsar-listed wetland located near a rapidly growing urban centre. The project aims to enhance critical wetland habitats for threatened migratory birds, reconnect important habitat corridors, and reduce nutrient and sediment runoff. This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program.
