Do you know what threatened species might live on your property? What do they need?

How can we meet those needs and still build houses, develop gardens or do anything else on our land? Why should we bother?

Come and learn more from the perspective of the biologist and the land manager and find out how you can help conserve the biodiversity of our environment and minimise the negative impacts of particular actions.

Free Natural Values Atlas training sessions

4 Terry Street, Glenorchy

Do you know what threatened species live on your property?

Unless you live in the very centre of town it’s quite possible you share your property with one or more species threatened with extinction. Knowing what these are can really help you plan your activities and potentially help these species. You can find out more using the Natural Values Atlas, a web-based application which holds mapped records of observations of more than 20 000 of Tasmania’s plants and animals, as well as other natural values such as geology. Come along to our free training sessions at the Glenorchy library, to find out what species might be on your property, and what they might need to survive and flourish.
