Ever wondered how our #RevolvingFund works? The Revolving Fund mechanism is a practical way to #protectnature on private land. It secures land with strong natural values & then uses the sale funds to protect more land. Read more in our #Autumn #newsletter: tasland.org.au/2026/02/news...
Bring your questions and on-ground experiences to the workshop and contribute to the formation of best practice guidelines to guide effective action across the state.
These workshops are supported by the Tasmanian Government through the Weed Action Fund.
Join local landholders and Biosecurity Tasmania staff, along with experienced weed control practitioners, for a collaborative workshop. You'll hear from Biosecurity Tasmania staff about what the new foxglove declaration means for your region.
Does your local area have foxglove?
Enviro-dynamics is hosting a workshop about the recently declared weed foxglove. Next week we will be at Mechanics Institute Hall in Scottsdale.

Detection dogs are proving to be a valuable addition to the toolkit, already supporting more informed decisions across threatened species translocations, quarry operations and biosecurity management in Tasmania.
Caused by the fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi, this dieback affects more than 130 plant species and the habitats that depend on them. With no cure available, early detection is critical.
A highlight of the event was a live demonstration from the wonderful Pippa, working with handler Mo McPherson.
Last week at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, we were pleased to bring together project partners, Tasmania’s land management community, and the Threatened Species Commissioner, Fiona Fraser, and her team to explore how detection dogs are changing the way we respond to root rot dieback.
Long before we see the impacts, root rot dieback can be spreading through soil and water. So, how do we get ahead?

Here's a video recap of our Women in Conservation event with Tasmanian Land Conservancy.
Though this year’s event was held at a bigger venue, it was still sold out, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for next time!

Is there a better way to spend an evening than with like-minded people who are as passionate about conservation, the environment, and nature as you are?
Before and after the Women in Conservation panel, long-time collaborators caught up while new connections formed over canapés.

The four had an eclectic, diverse collection of tales to tell, and hearing about their adventures near and far away from Tasmania was both inspiring and thought-provoking with how important detection dogs are for conservation efforts.
A core component of our Women in Conservation event with Tasmanian Land Conservancy was hearing from experts about their time working with conservation dogs. Panellists included Sue Robinson, Lynn Baker, Nicole Gill, and Melissa Houghton.
It’s safe to say we’re already excited for next year!

The evening saw long-term peers catching up alongside the forming of new connections and also provided a chance to hear from four incredible ecologists about their time working with conservation dogs.
To celebrate International Women’s Day 2026, Tasmanian Land Conservancy and Enviro-Dynamics hosted a sold-out Women in Conservation event at Theatre Royal, Hobart.
Visited the beautiful Derwent Catchment Project Nursery today - it is making great gains for positive landscape scale change one plant a time, recycling pots, collecting seeds for site specific growing, and composting at the Nursery: derwentcatchment.org/nursery/

Seen any foxglove in Lutruwita/Tasmania lately?
If yes, the Weed Action Fund team would love to hear from you! We're keen to hear about what's worked (or not worked) for you when managing foxglove, and about any locations of foxglove not currently recorded.
