Nature restoration. Landscape resilience. Sustainable futures.

Collaborative action for healthy landscapes and seascapes, protected natural values, and sustainable livelihoods and lifestyles.

Our Story > Our Strategy >

We work to keep the natural and productive landscapes of south-eastern Tasmania healthy over the long term. We play a key role in building partnerships, securing and directing investment, connecting knowledge and expertise to action and increasing the capacity of others to engage in NRM activities.

Tasmania’s southern region covers 2.5 million hectares of land and is bounded by the Southern Ocean. It is recognised globally for its healthy, intact and diverse natural landscapes and productive land and seascapes. Our region’s wealth of natural resources underpins southern Tasmania’s identity as well as its economic, social, and environmental wellbeing.

Waste as a Resource Producer Workshop

Are you a producer trying to tackle waste streams in your business?

Join NRM South and TasWasteSouth at Heritage Farms in Forcett for a workshop exploring how waste and by-products can become valuable resources on farm and across regional industries.

Aimed at producers, this workshop will discuss practical examples of resource recovery, discuss barriers and opportunities to improve waste management across the region and share key findings from recent engagement with primary producers across Southern Tasmania.

This is a free workshop, but registration is essential.
