  • What's new?

    Information and knowledge are key elements in effective natural resource management.

Making a positive difference to southern Tasmania

Southern Tasmania is one of the most environmentally diverse areas anywhere in Australia. Its wealth of natural resources - including soil, water and coastlines and the native vegetation and wildlife they support - underpins the economic prosperity, social wellbeing and environmental health of our community.

NRM South protects and enhances these natural values for the benefit of current and future generations of Tasmanians. We do this by working closely with hundreds of organisations, agencies and community groups as well as thousands of individuals to implement the Natural Resources Management Strategy for the region.

Our three priorities are to:

  • deliver programs and services that make the biggest difference to the most important areas
  • share knowledge and inspire positive action across the region
  • build partnerships with organisations and individuals ranging from state and local government to schools, community groups and farmers.

The website is intended to help answer your questions about natural resources in Southern Tasmania, explain more about what we're doing in our region, and to give you ideas as to how you can get involved.
