Working to protect our National Parks

In 1960 the NPAACT was established with the objective of getting a National Park for the national capital.  This goal was achieved in 1984 when Namadgi National Park was proclaimed.  Today, the Association's work promotes National Parks and protection of our fauna and flora, scenery, natural features and cultural heritage.  We do this by lobbying and by hands-on work parties.  Our outdoor activities include field trips, work parties, day walks and pack walks, to enable members to better appreciate and enjoy the natural phenomena and cultural heritage.  Our quarterly Bulletin is packed with interesting articles on the environment, related issues and members' experiences in the bush.  At our monthly General Meetings, which bring members together to talk with the committee formally and over supper, guest speakers address a wide range of topics.  Please join us.
