Landscape and riparian restoration work is well underway for our Rivers to Ramsar project, with a suite of improvements delivered so far this year. From removing broken fences and installing new stock exclusion fencing, to w**d control and revegetation, this project is helping to improve the condition of Frogmore Creek, Orielton Rivulet and Sorell Rivulet. These three waterways feed into the internationally significant Pitt Water-Orielton Lagoon, an important Ramsar-listed wetland.

We've worked with specialist contractors and project partners to protect 11 ha of sensitive riparian habitat, carried out w**d control along both banks of a one-kilometre stretch of Sorell Rivulet, and revegetated three hectares across Sorell Rivulet and Frogmore Creek. At Orielton Rivulet, a further two ha of w**d control and 8.5 ha of revegetation is also underway.

Together, these efforts are helping restore and protect the waterways, wetlands and wildlife habitats of the Pitt Water-Orielton Lagoon catchment, supporting both its internationally significant biodiversity and the local communities that value and depend on it.

The Rivers to Ramsar project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program, with the support of NRM South, Landcare Tasmania, Sorell Landcare, Sorell Council, Tas Water and the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.

These works were also supported through the Smartgroup Foundation’s 2025 Grants Program, which helps community organisations across Australia deliver lasting environmental, social and financial wellbeing outcomes.

Last week, Hobart/Nipaluna was host to the Australian Land Conservation Alliance annual conference. Across four days, our team joined in on a series of inspiring and informative discussion panels, presentations, panels and fieldtrips covered topics such as the importance of investment in nature, the role of nature-based solutions in addressing climate change, First Nations leadership in conservation, emerging technologies, how nature restoration and agriculture can work together and conservation approaches in an island context.

On the final day, Dr Cat Young from our Biodiversity Program team led a field trip to Bruny Island where participants enjoyed a tour of Paul Davis' 'Fairyland' property in the north and took part in a Patrula Nayri (fire good) cultural burning session led by traditional fire practitioner Jason Smith. Dr Andrew Hingston spoke about the Bruny Island Environment Network revegetation project and Cat discussed the work we are doing with partners as part of our Biodiverse Bruny project. The excursion finished at Inala Nature Tours on south Bruny where property owner Tonia Cochran gave a tour of the site, its history and importance - including a stop at a viewing platform to see nesting Forty-spotted Pardalotes in the canopy.

It was fantastic to have such a well-known conference in our own backyard, and a great opportunity to make new connections, spread the word about our work and find out more about what other similar organisations are working on across the country.
