Each year, the Council supports local revegetation efforts by providing thousands of native plant seedlings to Landcare groups and landowners, helping restore and protect our region’s biodiversity, soil, and water health.
Huon Valley Landcare Nursery
Launched in August 2023, the Huon Valley Landcare Nursery is a thriving, volunteer-run native plant nursery supplying approximately 4,000 native plants annually for revegetation projects across the Huon Valley.
A collaboration between Landcare Tasmania and the Huon Valley Council Natural Resource Management team, the nursery ensures a sustainable supply of locally sourced native plants. Volunteers are involved in every stage of the process—from seed collection and processing to sowing, propagation from cuttings, plant order dispatch, and direct support for revegetation projects.
To maintain local provenance, seeds are carefully collected from across the Huon Valley, ensuring plants are well-suited to the specific environmental conditions of each project site. Locally sourced plants are naturally adapted to local climate and soil conditions, increasing their survival rates while enhancing biodiversity. This approach strengthens genetic diversity, building resilience in restored ecosystems.
With ongoing efforts to refine nursery operations, volunteers continue to improve processes, from seed collection and cleaning to propagation and cuttings, securing a reliable supply of high-quality native plants for future revegetation efforts
Requesting Native Plants
Native plants are provided to Huon Valley community groups and landowners for revegetation projects that are well-planned, feasible, and provide an environmental or community benefit.
NRM staff can assist with planning revegetation projects.
For guidance or to request native plants, contact the NRM Team at 6264 0300 or nrm@huonvalley.tas.gov.au.
