TRLA stands with the Home is where the hollow is campaign

Here at TRLA, we’re passionate about the wellbeing of our natural ecosystem and recognise the responsibility we have to protect the environment and biodiversity.

Tree hollows and fallen logs provide important homes for Australian wildlife, but they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.

Trees provide critical habitat for native wildlife to forage, shelter, roost and nest. Hollow bearing trees are particularly important, as many species use hollows on a daily and seasonal basis to nest and raise their young.

Thinking Ahead? Let’s Grow Together – Pre-Order Now for Spring and Autumn Plantings

Are you planning a revegetation, habitat or garden project for Spring 2025 or Autumn 2026? Now is the perfect time to get in touch and place your order.

At the Landcare Nursery, we grow to order, meaning early planning gives us time to propagate the species you need, grown from local provenance seed where possible. This ensures your plants will be healthy, robust, and ready when it’s time to go in the ground.

Why plan ahead?
Good communication helps us grow the right plants, in the right quantities, and align with the best planting windows for your site.

While most people target spring and autumn, winter planting is also a good option this year—with mild weather and consistent rainfall, conditions have been good for establishing new plantings.

Let’s chat about your project:

Connecting Community Through Nature Journaling

In response to rising stress, anxiety, and disconnection from nature—particularly in rural areas—West Hume Landcare and the Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre launched the Grassy Woodlands Nature Journaling Group. Meeting every two months in Burrumbuttock or on field excursions, this inclusive group invites participants of all skill levels to slow down, observe, and creatively engage with nature through drawing, writing, photography, and data collection. Nature journaling not only fosters mindfulness, creativity, and improved observation, but also builds a shared sense of purpose and community connection. By offering a low-barrier, nature-based activity, the initiative has become a powerful tool for supporting mental wellbeing and strengthening environmental awareness.
