Gardens For Wildlife

Large areas of land protect many of Tasmania’s unique species – and so do small urban gardens.  

Anyone with a garden, no matter how small, can join Gardens for Wildlife. Learn how to improve local habitat and protect plants and visiting animals. 

What is the Gardens for Wildlife program?

Gardens for Wildlife helps you understand the value of your urban garden and learn about habitat and wildlife-friendly practices.  

We share advice to help you increase the natural diversity of plants, insects, reptiles and other animals in your garden, creating a safe haven.  

The benefits will also reach far beyond your property boundaries. By linking with nearby pockets of habitat, your garden will act as an important stepping stone for animals to move safely from place to place.  

The program is funded through donations and run by Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC) in partnership with landholders like you.  

What are the benefits of joining Gardens for Wildlife?

  • You will learn how to attract native birds and insects to your garden.

  • You will be invited to TLC workshops and events to learn, share and meet conservation-minded landholders.
