Member Councils busy with tree planting

Winter on the Cradle Coast is tree planting time! Our Member Councils have been busy this year, with impressive results that you might see on your travels around the region. Burnie City Council has managed plantings at five sites, with 1700 plants going in the ground. Council staff were assisted by Tas TAFE students from the Conservation Land Management course at one of the sites.
Don College students help plant along the Devonport City Council coast.
At Devonport City Council, more than 2000 plants were planted throughout the municipality at 11 different sites from coastal plantings at the beach through to riparian zones in wet Eucalypt forest. The Friends of Don Reserve helped with the majority of these plantings, as well as students from Don College and indoor staff from Devonport City Council. We’ll have an update on other Member Councils’ NRM work in our next newsletter too!
