Managing & preparing #covenanted properties for new owners takes time & multiple rounds of exploration from our team. Recently, Kenna Reid-Clark, from our reserves team, explored Karoola Hills with our CEO Dr Kath Tuft, #ecologist Matilda Terry and conservations programs manager, Nicole Sherriff.

#Spring at TLC's St Helens #RevolvingFund Property is especially gorgeous, the #ironbark forest understorey is flowering, incl. wattles, peas, #orchids & #sundews. Among them, the climbing sundew was seen weaving its way through the vegetation.

We ⏰ up a lot of kms here at the TLC. Our reserves are spread across Tas, & we're not shy of 🛻 up the #MidlandHighway a couple of times a week. For the past 2yrs, we've completed the #defensivedriving course with Performance Driving Australia, learning essential skills to negotiate #Tassie roads.

Possibly the best tracks to spot! These are #Tassie devil tracks in the mud at TLC's The Big Punchbowl Reserve! The reserve has a resident population of nat #endangered #Tasmaniandevils. Devils are widespread across the reserve despite the persistence of devil facial tumour disease in the area.
