Wild Mob has established a new project in the Tarkine located in the North West region of Tasmania.
Kings Run is a coastal cattle property converted to a conservation reserve in 2000 by Geoff King, a descendant of some of the earliest settlers in northern Tasmania.
Mr King is committed to returning the property to its natural state and has over-seen the revival of natural pastures as well as the growth in numbers and range of native animals and birds.
Mr King has recently enlisted the help of Wild Mob to provide a source of volunteers to help with conservation work required on the property.
Wild Mob volunteers will camp on the property for a week and assist with a range of tasks including:
Graeme Wood, founder of Wild Mob, has a keen interest in this area of Tasmania.
"The Tarkine region of north west Tasmania includes the southern hemispheres largest cool temperate rainforest and some hundred kilometers of wild, rugged coastline.
"It is imperative that we protect this section of the world and preserve it for future generations.
"Wild Mob volunteers get the opportunity to experience a truly unique part of the world and contribute to its long-term outlook," he said.
