WHILE Tasmania has the crispest, cleanest air, kilometres of untouched coastlines and some of Australia’s most unique wildlife and wildest wilderness, it is in pressing need of help to conserve its pristine natural environment and threatened native w

In an interesting combination of doing something for the environment while having a holiday at the same time, Naturewise Conservation Holidays have all-inclusive trips to Tasmania which provide travellers with an opportunity to do just that: get hands-on in preserving and protecting the state’s unique plant and wildlife species.

The Naturewise Tasmania Experience is a weeklong journey combining visits to the iconic natural wonders of Cradle Mountain and Freycinet National Parks, and active participation in penguin surveys and other conservation projects on private conservation reserves.

“Taking a Naturewise Conservation Holiday is a great way to learn how easy it is to help threatened species,” said zoologist Dr Tonia Cochran.

This is not a passive holiday as it involves active participation, a hands-on role in vital wildlife monitoring and habitat restoration for endangered and threatened species, while having fun, sightseeing and making new friends along the way.

Prices start at $380 per person for two days, and at $850 per person for six days for which you will travel in small groups, get accommodation, meals, transport and experienced guides.

For full program details, visit www.naturewise.com.au or call 1800 032 501.
