Tasmania's Central Highlands - Restoration of Important Natural Values

This project will improve the condition and resilience of over 18,000 hectares of native vegetation in Tasmania's Central Highlands. This will be done by addressing invasive weeds and restoring and rehabilitating woodland, grassland and peat land vegetation communities. These will include preparing a rehabilitation plan for two endangered Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and surveying critical habitat for the endangered Ptunarra Brown Butterfly. Many of these areas buffer the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and the Interlaken (Lake Crescent) Ramsar site. The effectiveness of the project will be enhanced by working closely with local land managers (including indigenous people), volunteers, experts and the broader community.
