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.
