A network of field trials using key native eucalypt and shrub species has been embedded in an environmental restoration project in the Tasmanian Midlands and Derwent Valley. The project, a partnership between the University of Tasmania and Greening Australia, aims to: - build ecological resilience into modified agricultural land by expanding and reconnecting native woodlands on private land; - develop permanent restoration demonstration and research sites; and - study the importance of genetic variation within eucalypt species in the success and resilience of environmental plantings.
