About the TCT

Since 1968 the Tasmanian Conservation Trust has been protecting Tasmania's biodiversity, natural places and heritage. Some of our most prominent campaigns have been the establishment of the Mt Wellington Reserve, Stop the Super Trawler, helping to prevent the Tamar Valley Pulp Mill and taking a court case that in 2022 stopped the clearing of 1800 hectares of native forest at Ansons Bay.

About the role

The position also involves providing input into the review of TCT Climate Work Plan.
