Improving biodiversity in the Hunter since 1989

This project was proudly supported by The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife

FNPW has assisted Trees in Newcastle to develop our infrastructure in order to increase our capacity to propagate and nurture tubestock for this purpose. TIN now has a new igloo, undercover potting area, and best of all, solar power for an automated irrigation system. A new large shade house with its own irrigation system has also been assembled by volunteers on site.

Trees in Newcastle has pledged 10,000 trees per year for 3 years to assist with environmental recovery in the Local Government Areas identified as affected by the 2019-2020 Black Summer fires. These plants are grown from locally sourced seed stock, and nurtured in our nursery until they are ready for eligible landholders to pick up at

To find out if your area is listed for the Bushfire Recovery Program check out the following link: https://www.bushfirerecovery.gov.au/your-community/local-area-profiles#/map

We encourage landholders to order ahead by email to nursery@treesinnewcastle.org.au. Our nursery staff will get back to you to discuss your needs and to organise a pick-up date. We will require your contact details and numbers of specific species. Please note that Trees in Newcastle cannot deliver plants.

You can also contact Trees in Newcastle Nursery to see if we can help you with your revegetation needs at nursery@treesinnewcastle.org.au
