If you haven’t been to one of these events hosted by National Parks & Wildlife Service, book yourself in!
Post Fire Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) Control Works:
Come and join us and help make a difference this February, March and April. The environmental weed Scotch Broom is widely distributed throughout sub-alpine communities and is impacting on the structure, floristics and ecology of the area. These works are helping to protect Endangered Ecological Communities and Threatened Species Habitat in the Barrington Tops Region. Kids and families are welcome. Note there will be some tool handling and a level of supervision is required by parents for kids under 14.
Twilight Tour & Biodiversity Monitoring:
As a bonus, in this program we will be incorporating a twilight tours on the evenings of the 24th of Feb & 25th of March and 8th of April to show our volunteers the amazing nocturnal wildlife in the area and monitoring to capture the biodiversity of the Barrington Tops area. This local based monitoring helps to fill gaps in data and informs the conservation and management decisions of the park. You will be taught how to capture this information in an innovative app called “CyberTracker”.
Camping:
Both campgrounds have been booked out for event participants – and camping is free. You are welcome to come up the night before or to stay the night after the activity to help manage fatigue and to give you more time to enjoy the Barrington Tops National Park.
The campgrounds are basic with a pit/drop toilet, gas BBQs and picnic tables. The site is designed for ‘camp beside your vehicle’.
Requirements: A medium level of fitness is required. Participants must be fully vaccinated for these events and must present a certificate to the supervisor on site. We do not hold copies of vaccination certificates.
