Thank you volunteers!
Thank you to the team of 21 volunteers for a tree-mendous effort on our recent working bee at our Silver Peppermint Permanent Reserve.
This wonderful dry eucalypt forest bordering the Mount Bethune Conservation Area near Mt Field National Park, protects threatened Eucalyptus tenuiramis (Silver Peppermint) woodland.
One of the biggest risks to the natural values in this area of Tasmania is illegal fire wood collection. The TLC is actively working with the community to encourage the positive use and value of the Silver Peppermint Reserve. We are also working with the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service who manage the Mt Bethune Conservation area to stop illegal fire wood cutting and together, have been successful in prosecuting several individuals in recent years.
On our September working bee our supporters had a successful day erecting “no wood cutting” signs, weeding, digging trenches, surveying tracks, repairing a fence and moving small limb wood to encourage the natural regeneration on impacted sites.
Thank you for all of the volunteers for such a fun and productive time.
