The Living Earth Geotrail has been developed by a number of organisations who all share an interest in the project. Below is some information on the partners, and where you can find out more about their individual efforts in other areas in the region and across the state.
Mineral Resources Tasmania
Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) is a Division of the Department of State Growth. The purpose of MRT is to give effect to government policy in relation to minerals and petroleum resources, and the Division provides essential information for land management in Tasmania.
The focus of MRT is to produce and promote up-to-date geoscientific information on Tasmania as an aid to the mineral and petroleum exploration industries, other government agencies and the general public, in order to improve the State’s economic position, and to promote sustainable land-use planning and environmental management.
