Tasmanian Greens leader Cassy O'Connor told the party state conference getting back to grassroots and focusing more on fundraising are the main priorities after a poor result in the 2018 state election.
The Greens state conference, held in Burnie over the weekend, was the first since the March election which saw the number of seats held by the Greens reduced from three to two.
Ms O'Connor said the party has altered its strategy after analysing the election results.
"This state conference was obviously the first one after the state election so we did have to deal with the result, the impact on the Green vote," she said.
The party is taking steps to address the election result, but isn't considering a drastic overhaul in an effort to rebuild, said Ms O'Connor.
"We're just working really hard at the grassroots, so our focus in Parliament has been very much on core green issues and what's in the public interest," she said.
"I think it's a change in parliamentary tactics where necessary, rather than necessarily be following what's regarded as the issue of the day we go back to those issues that communities are raising with us.
"We've certainly taken home some lessons from the 2018 campaign and we recognise the need to raise more money.
"As a party we need to have a broader funding base in order to take on some of this big 'dark' money.
"There is now a very dedicated focus within the party on fundraising."
Ms O'Connor said the 2018 state election was a tough campaign for the party.
"I've been in and around politics for more than 30 years and I'd never seen a campaign like this one," she said.
"There were millions of dollars in 'dark' money flowing into securing a Liberal majority government, there was a wall of negative advertising, a targeted campaign against Labor and the Greens over the pokies issue."
Senate 'a challenge' for Greens
The Greens are also finding it tough on the federal front.
Tasmanian Greens senator Nick McKim told party faithful it will be a "challenge" to retain the party's second Senate seat at the next federal election.
Nick McKim was the last senator elected at the 2016 double dissolution election.
He's got a fight on his hands to retain it.
"We're not taking anything for granted in this election and we understand we will need every vote we can possibly get to hold this seat," he said.
"Based on polling, based on recent election results we know we have a challenge on our hands."
Former Greens leader Bob Brown said the party was is already rebuilding after the 2018 result.
"Already going up in the polls, now on 16 per cent and heading north, I think we're going to get a fantastic result with our two senators returned at the federal election," he said.
"The party needs to be able to get drastic changes to electoral laws so we can see where all the money is coming that's buying seats for the Liberals in particular.
"But no, we're a grassroots party, it's going vigorously."
He's happy with the direction of the party.
"I've seen the ebb and flow but at the moment this is flow, the Greens are picking up."
