Donate Seeds & Fruit

Tablelands Regional Council is asking the community for donations of native seeds and fruit to help with local revegetation projects.

‘We continuously propagate local species for revegetation projects and can do even more if we can source more seeds,’ said Natural Asset Management Advisory Committee Chair Councillor Maree Baade.

‘Our local land restoration projects help to increase canopy cover, improve water quality, provide wildlife habitat and protect biodiversity.

‘At this time of year we’re particularly looking for seeds and fruit from Pencil Cedars Ackama australiensis, Maiden’s Blush /  Blush Alder Sloanea australis and Sarcopteryx martyana.

‘You can drop seeds and fruit at the Community Revegetation Nursery in Winfield Park on Lake Barrine Road near Malanda.

‘If the nursery is closed just leave the seeds and fruit at the gate in a bag or container that you don’t want returned.

‘Include a note about where and when you collected the seeds and fruit, and a branch with leaves.

‘We’ll propagate the seeds straight away or store them for future use,’ Councillor Baade said.
