Where we work
We mainly work in the beautiful Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve and Pipe Clay Lagoon Reserve near Clifton Beach on the South Arm Peninsula. These reserves are of particular importance to migratory and local sea birds.
What we do
We have a great time caring for these important coastal reserves with a variety of work including litter cleanups, re-vegetation with native plantings as well as weed and feral cat control. We welcome anyone interested in actively protecting the area’s natural values.

Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve
The Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve contains perched dune fields of national significance. The resident colony of Short-tailed Shearwater (Tasmanian Muttonbird) is estimated to support 8,000 burrows, and is protected by Tasmanian legislation. Wildcare Deslacs undertakes a range of activities, including weed control and feral animal trapping, to protect these natural values.
