Black Gum Conservation Group

Eucalyptus ovata (black gum) forest and woodland is a threatened vegetation community constituting important habitat for many endangered, and critically endangered species including the swift parrot, the forty-spotted pardalote, and the orange-bellied parrot. Black Gum Conservation Group is a community of passionate and enthusiastic volunteers, dedicated to re-establishing and protecting E. ovata forest and woodland across Lutruwita/Tasmania. We achieve this largely through E. ovata revegetation projects on public and private land, where volunteers can get involved with fundraising, weeding, tree planting and ongoing monitoring.
