50 Park Proposals

Celebrating 50 years of the NPWS with 50 new national parks and additions

Grahame Douglas, Convenor, Landscape Conservation Forum

2017 saw some celebratory events to recognise the 50 years since the establishment of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in NSW. This corresponds with NPA’s 60th celebrations. So one could speculate on how to best recognise the 50th year with a present: the establishment of 50 new parks and reserves.

Message from the CEO

Kevin Evans, Chief Executive Officer, National Parks Association of NSW

This will be my final edition of Nature NSW as I have decided to step down after 7 years as CEO. My partner and I recently purchased a rural property at Gleniffer in the idyllic Bellinger Valley and we are looking forward to spending more time there to restore the conservation values of our land and work with the progressive community there.
