About the event
At Inveresk, the UTAS Sustainability team has been leading an Ecological Restoration project that covers over 5,000m2, of which 3,000m2 will be intensively planted and seeded.
The aim is to convert a flat lawn into a biodiverse area that mimics six local native plant communities. The project will plant over 3,000 native plants and direct seed over 800m2 with the goal of establishing dense areas of native plants that supress weeds and provide habitat for insect populations.
From Early July we will be hosting regular weekly volunteer sessions on Mondays from 10:30am to 1 pm through to September.
Activities:
Mulching,
Planting,
Watering,
Monitoring biodiversity and
Weed management
Community members are welcome at any of the Monday sessions. For more information, reach out to lars.roberts@utas.edu.au. School groups are also welcome, but please contact Lars in advance.
