Tasmania Island Ark

Midlands Arboretum

The Arboretum is a collection of planted trees, shrubs, grasses and herbaceous plants native to the Midlands of Tasmania.

Greening Australia worked with local schools and community to establish an arboretum style planting or outdoor classroom at Ross, next to the existing Species Hotels, in partnership with the von Bibra family in the Northern Midlands of Tasmania.

An educational space full of diverse native Tasmanian plants, schools use the Arboretum for science learning objectives, excursions and practical skills in seed collection, plant propagation and wildlife monitoring.

It is a space for walking on Country and learning about the incredible biodiversity and cultural heritage of the Midlands.
