Up2Us & MASS Native Seedling Project

Up2Us Landcare Alliance and Mansfield Autism Statewide Services (MASS) have partnered to deliver the Native Seedling Project, an initiative that combines landscape revegetation with meaningful community participation.

The project brings together young adult clients of MASS, support workers, and community volunteers to propagate indigenous seedlings for revegetation projects throughout the Mansfield shire region. This collaborative partnership creates positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes by fostering skills, promoting inclusion, and strengthening community connections while supporting local biodiversity.

Participants are involved in a range of hands-on nursery activities, including seed propagation, potting, watering, plant care, and preparing seedlings for sale. These practical experiences provide opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence, and contribute to a project with lasting environmental value. By working alongside volunteers and support staff, participants also strengthen social connections and gain a sense of achievement through contributing to the restoration of local landscapes.

The seedlings are available for purchase by the public, with all proceeds reinvested into the project. Funds are used to purchase seed, native potting mix, trays, tools and other essential materials and equipment, ensuring the ongoing viability of the program. Every purchase directly supports the continued growth of the project while encouraging the establishment of indigenous vegetation to enhance wildlife habitat, improve landscape resilience, and contribute to the long-term health of the Mansfield region.
