Past Projects
NRM South has been operating in southern Tasmania for two decades and we have worked on many great projects over this time. We have collated an archive of previous projects as an information resource, reference and summary of our most significant projects under previous funding rounds.
20 YEARS OF NRM SOUTH
2023 marks 20 years of operations for NRM South in southern Tasmania. Over this time, we have worked on hundreds of projects large and small across the length and breadth of our region. From biosecurity initiatives in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area to broad scale projects with multiple partners such as the D’Entrecasteaux and Huon Collaboration, this page features previous projects highlights and information about past initiatives in recognition of our journey.
FEATURED STORIES
WHITE GUM TRIALS ON BRUNY ISLAND (2014)
In 2014, after three years of targeted monitoring activities, we found White gum seedlings on North Bruny Island, thanks to a series of regeneration trials set up in late 2011 at Murrayfield Station, a lamb and fine wool property at the northern end of Bruny owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation.
The trials were set up in response to observations in 2010 that White gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) is in decline in the region, threatening the survival of the endangered Forty-spotted Pardalote, who depend on this tree species.
In an endeavour to restore this habitat, NRM South teamed up with scientists and the community to launch a research partnership with The Understorey Network and Kingborough Council. You can read more about the project in this case study.
INCREASING THE RESILIENCE OF ALPINE BOGS ON THE CENTRAL PLATEAU (2018)
Following concerns about the potential multiple land use impacts on fragile alpine and sub-alpine bogs in the highland region of Bronte Park and Pine Tier Lagoon, a study was initiated by NRM South and implemented by Dr Anita Wild in 2015 to assess the state of and risks to this ecological community, with reports provided to individual landholders that would assist them in future management.
Listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act, Tasmania’s bogs and fens are not only important because of their rarity, but also because they are the source of many of our island’s river systems. You can read more about the project in this case study.
