We are thrilled to #announce that thanks to the support of over 1,000 people, #PineTier is now protected and forms the largest privately protected area in Lutruwita / #Tasmania. We couldn't have done it without you – thank you for making this possible.

Our latest #LandforWildlife event was held at the Fern Tree Community Hall in May. It was a great chance to focus in on a few of the #nocturnal #wildlife species that many of us share our homes with & tips for looking after them. TY Dr Lisa Cawthen & Bec Johnson who were our guest speakers.

TLC supporters gathered at #SlopingMain Reserve in May to learn about the recent #restoration work completed there. Attendees saw & heard first-hand the #science behind the restoration work & techniques used to restore the area's original topography to start the #landscape on a path to #recovery.

A couple of weeks ago, with support from the City of Hobart, TLC carried out a successful #ecological burn at our Tinderbox Hills Reserve. This carefully planned burn is part of our ongoing efforts to #protect the #ecological values of the area, especially the #bluegum and #whitegum forests.

Here is a beaut little snoot hoping to make your Wednesday mornin a real hoot. Love from all of us at the TLC. ☺️ #ecosystems #Conservation #discovertasmania #tasmania #Biodiversity #natureconservation #nature #fieldwork #biodiversity #wallaby #kangaroo

In May we partnered with NRM Nth to run a workshop about #nativegrasslands at the property of #LandforWildlife members, Mary and Ron Marsh. The Marsh's have been fostering the Themeda #grassland, a nationally #threatenedvegetation community, on their property in nth #Tasmania.

Right now, your gift to protect #PineTier will go twice as far, thanks to the Elsie Flood Foundation. That means double the impact for #Tasmania’s #threatenedspecies, ancient highland #ecosystems, and the deep connections people hold with this landscape. #Donate at tasland.org.au/donate #EOFY

3 exciting finds at #PineTier! 3 of #Tasmania's marsupial carnivores, the #spottedtailedquoll, #easternquoll and the #Tasmaniandevil, have been photographed as part of our ongoing ecological monitoring. Both quoll species are protected under the EPBC Act, with populations in the wild on the decline.

If you have been following us over the past few weeks, you will know we are in the midst of restoration work at our #SlopingMain Reserve. This work is part of a project supported by the NRE TAS #ThreatenedSpecies Partnership Grant Program supported by the Tas Govt.

A brushless #brushtailpossum! This fellow certainly wasn't #camerashy, & once it was finished flaunting that #cute face, they revealed a tailless hind end. This fellow is fortunately a resident of one of our #reserves and was snapped on a camera trap as part of our ongoing #ecological monitoring.

Snowy scenes at our Five Rivers Reserve on the #centralhighlands, site of our #cidergum recovery project. After the 2019 bushfires, the young regrowth was being overgrazed, so some were caged to give the gums a chance to recover. Read more about the project at tasland.org.au/blog/from-th...

Just like her #mum! This Bruny Island special, the elusive #whitewallaby, was 📸 on our Lutregala Marsh Reserve, next to the #BrunyIsland Neck Game Reserve. Lutregala Marsh Reserve contains 2 vulnerable habitats, a #coastal #saltmarsh & saline #grassland. Read more at: tasland.org.au/reserve/lutr...

We started the 2025 #centralhighlands #weeding program in Jan at Silver Plains Reserve with 7 reserves team members & 6 volunteers. Incredibly, 2 of the vollies have been involved for over 10 yrs!

Did you catch our video of 6 #easternquoll tykes playing chasey in #LandforWildlife members, Laurie Goldsworthy & Kristina Nicklason, backyard? Here is another video, but this time we suspect it is their mum! She is carrying nesting material into the family's den under Laurie & Kristina's home.

Our newest #LandforWildlife landholder, Tim Gardner, had a tutorial from our #volunteer assessor Todd Dudley on controlling a thorny wattle infestation. Acacia paradoxa, is an uncommon but menacing #weed in #Tasmania with this property having a large pop Tim is determined to control.

We’re thrilled to #announce that 2 of our #conservation projects have secured financial support from Tas Govt through NRE Tas Threatened Species Partnership Program. These projects will take place on our Sloping Main Reserve & Rubicon Sanctuary. More info at www.facebook.com/share/p/19Z9...

TLC's Aimee Bliss recently hosted Threatened Plants Tasmania – a #volunteer group that undertakes surveys looking for & recording threatened plants across the TAS. Aimee was able to show them around #PineTier where 1 new species was found & new pop of other known #threatenedplants were recorded.

Here are some Midlands #flowers to brighten up your Tuesday. Can you ID any of the species? These were captured in late 2024 on a property participating in the #MidlandsConservationPartnership. The #Tas Midlands are home to some of the most threatened #ecosystems in the world.
