Join us for this special update on the Great Koala National Park.

This year’s announcement of the Great Koala National Park was one of the biggest moments in conservation NSW has seen in decades. We’ll be keeping the pressure on until it’s officially gazetted, but the work doesn’t stop there.

Right now, community groups across NSW are developing new protected area proposals that could become the next major national parks. With important habitats still under threat from logging, these proposals need strong public support to succeed.

We’re hosting a special webinar to showcase this work and introduce you to some of the people leading it.

📆 Date & time: Thursday 4th Dec, 6pm
💻 Online via Zoom

You’ll hear about:
🌳 What goes into a successful protected area proposal
🌳 Exciting proposals currently underway across the state
🌳 How you can support these campaigns and get involved

Speakers:
🌳 David Gallan (NPA Far South Coast)
🌳 Dailan Pugh OAM, (North East Forest Alliance NEFA)

Help celebrate The Great Koala National Park with us.

The NSW Government has officially declared the Great Koala National Park and we're celebrating. This is a once in a decade achievement, achieved through NPA’s leadership with support of other conservation groups, and the community at large.

Sydney Region Branch are planning a series of ‘Picnics in the Park’ to be held across the Sydney Region, on weekends, throughout November.

NPA members will be able to attend without charge, and we would love to see friends and families, and others, to share the excitement across the generations.

Further details to follow.
