Enter the Tasmanian cool temperate rainforest with forest ecologist and expert guide Yoav Daniel Bar-Ness for a walk along some of Kunanyi/ Mount Wellington’s splendid tracks.
Participants will learn about fern biodiversity, mushroom spotting, wood decay, and the geology of Kunanyi/ Mount Wellington. We’ll also try out some citizen science tools to record our observations of local biodiversity.
We’ll meet outside the Fern Tree Tavern, easily accessible from town by a short bus or car ride. The trails are fairly easy and suitable for most fitness levels. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and warm layers. You might also want to bring water and a snack.
We have a shorter family friendly tour starting at 3pm, and then the normal tour at 4:30pm, both starting from the Fern Tree Tavern.
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
