Protecting our Native Birds

Tasmanian Birds

Tasmania is home to a vast array of birdlife. Twelve of these bird species are endemic to Tasmania (see link below). Unfortunately some are also threatened.

To help protect our native birds you can provide water during the hotter months and stick to the wet sand when driving or walking (especially with dogs) on beaches during the shorebird breeding season (spring and summer).

Huon Valley Council is part of the South Eastern Regional Shorebird Alliance.

The Huon Valley Council acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the South East Nation, the Melukerdee people of the Huon River and the Lyluequonny people of the Far South. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and culture, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Community Engagement

Community engagement is about us working together to understand and resolve an issue or project. It is a process that involves the public in decision making and the use of community input to make better, more informed decisions.
