Permanent Reserves
A major focus of the TLC's work is fundraising to establish permanent TLC reserves. We seek to acquire the most important natural areas in the state on private land. Once the reserve is acquired, the TLC keeps these areas and manages them to ensure that the habitat for rare and endangered native plants and animals is maintained.
Skullbone Plains
Within the New Leaf landscapes, some of the properties are world heritage quality jewels. Skullbone Plains near Bronte Park is a shining example. This 1600 ha property of exquisite open valleys, old-growth forests, native grasslands, cushion plants and rare, endangered sphagnum moss beds, provides critical wild habitat for a species of endangered fish, the Clarence galaxias. Sharing a 16 kilometre boundary with the Tasmanian Wilderness Heritage Area and its mosaic of wetlands, lakes and streams, Skullbone Plains is one of the world's most rare and beautiful places.
