Who we are

We are an interested group of people looking at doing what we can to conserve this beautiful part of Tasmania. We welcome new volunteers.

Where we work

The Great Western Tiers (nupawula kooparoona niara) are the forested escarpment of the northern edge of the Central Highlands plateau and are contained within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.

What we do

We undertake tasks such as track maintenance, feral plant removal and the protection of eroded and sensitive areas.

Currently we are attempting to eradicate an outbreak of Spurge laurel (Daphne laureola) at Western Creek on private land within a km of the World Heritage Area boundary. This newly emergent weed has the potential to dominate the understory of semi open forests. The work is being supported by a grant from the Tasmanian Nature Conservation Fund.
