Nipaluna Nursery is in its third year of operation with our first formal meeting held on 26 October 2021, and the announcement of the HCC grant, which became effective in 2022-2023. We are 2 and a half years old! Our first AGM was on 21 March 2023.

Annual Report

Ask Tasmanians to describe the Midlands of Tasmania and they might say ‘dry’, ‘sheep and weeds’, ‘skeleton trees’ and ‘barren’. Many Tasmanians only see the Midlands driving along the highway between the north and south of the island. There is more to this plateau in the centre of Tasmania.

For over 60,000 years multiple Aboriginal nations lived with the Tasmanian marsupials. The Palawa people managed and farmed the land, burning and creating grasslands and open woodlands for hunting. Now overfarming, fertilisation, land clearing, climate change, overhunting of certain animals, and feral cats, all threaten the future of the Midlands.

Tasmania is Australia’s last refuge for some of our most endangered animals. The marsupials, the Eastern Bettong, the spotted tailed quoll , the eastern barred bandicoot and the Tasmanian devils are now classified as endangered.

We can all help to maintain and protect this rich biodiversity of the Midlands. A good way to help is to learn about the plants and animals that make it so special.

Rebuilding to restore habitat connections on a large scale.

Bush Heritage, Tasmanian Land Conservancy, and Greening Australia is working with the first Tasmanians, the palawa people, farmers, scientists, school students, researchers and volunteers to create wildlife corridors of native plants that connect-up the patches between the mountains and along the rivers. One thousand hectares (10 square kilometres) have been restored, with a further 50 square kilometres planned.
