I am looking for advice on planting trees on my property?

Here at Tamworth Regional Landcare Association we are all about supporting community projects and seeing plants in the ground and planting the right species in the right place is integral to success.

Our nursery team can help you select appropriate species for your backyard, farm or regeneration project. The Nursery team are producing an array of over 100 plants for growing in our region. These plants are grown from locally collected and propagated seed and are a variety of native and endemic species.

Find out more about our nursery here.

The North West Local Land Services have staff dedicated to supporting landholders with natural resource management and planning on their property. You can find out more here: northwest.lls.nsw.gov.au
