People Working Together

The practices outlined in this website apply to all natural areas and are essential to the protection of most sensitive environments such as coastlines, rainforests and alpine areas. The Australian Alps are particularly fragile and require your care and protection to survive.

With the assistance of Department of the Environment and Heritage, land managers in the ACT, NSW and Victoria are developing cooperative approaches to managing Australia’s alpine national parks. This publication is part of the cooperative management to protect Australia’s alpine areas. The Australian Alps national parks include linked conservation reserves stretching from the outskirts of Canberra through the Snowy Mountains of NSW to near Mansfield and Licola in Victoria. They are:

• Namadgi National Park and Tidbinbilla Nature
  Reserve (ACT)
• Kosciuszko and Brindabella national parks,
  Scabby Range and Bimberi nature reserves (NSW)
• Alpine, Mt Buffalo, Baw Baw and Snowy River
  national parks and Avon Wilderness (Vic)
