The
Tweed
Valley
has an incredibly rich flora and
fauna, with more species of fish, birds, amphibians and mammals than
Kakadu. The region has many threatened fauna species, and
Australia’s highest concentration of threatened plants.
We have a high diversity of ecosystems including sub-tropical rainforests,
littoral rainforests, sclerophyll
forests, wetlands,
heathlands
and riparian corridors.
The
Tweed
is in an area where temperate and sub-tropical climates overlap, so many
species occur at either their southern or northern distribution limits.
Fifty-eight
species of plants, many of which are endangered or vulnerable to
extinction, are restricted to the
Tweed
catchment and its immediate surrounds.
Committed
volunteers in the local Landcare network are working to protect and
rehabilitate this precious landscape.
Tweed Landcare supports people caring for our unique environment &
natural resources through practical community projects.
