Egg Island

Posted by admin on May 25, 2010

Last week the TLC had some visitors from The Nature Conservancy in the U.S.  - one of the world's largest conservation organisations. They have protected more than 119 million acres of land and 5,000 miles of rivers worldwide !

It was a fantastic opportunity to do some capacity building within our organisation and also to show what the TLC had achieved in our neck of the woods, so to speak.

Late one afternoon we rowed over to Egg Island to see one of TLC’s reserves which, among other things, is important habitat for the globally endangered Australasian bittern.

It was one of those a magic Autumn evenings that made it very easy to see why Egg Island is such a special place.

If you would like the opportunity to visit Egg Island to help with weed control please contact us to secure your seat in a boat!
