TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN LANDCARE

In 2014 the Landcare Centre on Hartley Road was established. A lease from Council on a section of public land meant that a shed and greenhouse could be built. Further improvements to the land included planting native gardens, restoration of the creek and waterhole and educational signage.

Today, after 10 years of regeneration and maintenance, we have a beautiful wildlife haven for everyone to enjoy. Our volunteers have worked tirelessly, along with many trainee groups and contractors, to make the Landcare Centre what it is - a snapshot of plant and animal diversity.

Landcare Centre Fauna Survey

A full fauna survey was commissioned in 2023; the results are outstanding for such a small area. "The subject site was found to have overall high ecological value and provides important habitat that supports a large number of fauna species"  These include 52 bird species, 7 reptiles, 17 mammal species, 8 frog species and 66 invertebrate species, including 36 butterfly, 13 cicada and 13 dragonfly.

Landcare Centre Native Plant List

This wonderful gallery of our native plants, found in our Centre, was generously put together by one of our local graphic artists - Murray Swift. Most of the plants listed here have been planted by volunteers. Only a few trees were on this site when TM Landcare took on the job of restoring this space.
