With just a gold coin for entry and a full program of musical entertainment and delicious food ecofest is a great day out and we look forward to seeing you on April 10 at the Wharf, Ulverstone. You will notice some changes to the festival this year as we navigate a Covid-safe experience for all, such as reduced stall numbers and absence of our workshops and presentations, however we expect to return to full event capacity in 2022. This years theme Seeing a Positive Future - a 2021 vision, aims to inspire us all to look beyond the present to how we can create a positive future especially here on the North West Coast.

07.01.2022 We celebrate long term Live Well Tasmania volunteer Tania Brookes who was recently awarded the Diamond of Devonport Award on International Women's Day for her extraordinary service to the community. Well done Tania and congratulations! Tania is a tireless volunteer for Live Well Tasmania who goes above and beyond for people in Devonport and surrounds. She is passionate about empowering girls and women, in terms of encouraging skill development particularly in self-sufficien...cy and self-reliance, to help women regain control of their lives. Tania single handedly manages the Community Exchange Network Tasmania (CENTs) project as a volunteer, which has been very successful in reducing social isolation, increasing community connectedness, and building self-esteem by increasing practical skills, intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills. Tania also assists with Live Well Tasmania projects aimed to improve mental health for which a lot of extra support is needed in the current COVID climate. She consistently has very innovative ideas about projects that will help our communities, including the creative use of social media in particular to reach disadvantaged people. Live Well Tasmania has a focus on improving health and wellbeing for which Tania contributes above and beyond her volunteer role as Project Manager for Live Well Tasmania. Tania has championed the establishment of two Seed Banks for the northwest coast located at community venues to provide free seed to people wishing to grow their own food and to try their hand at gardening. She is particularly keen on the use of social enterprise to empower both men and women but particularly women, and has already committed many hours to progress multiple social enterprise initiatives.
