supporting the Nature Foundation SA.

Friends at work The Volunteer Support Unit within the agency coordinates Consultative Committees (7) and Friends of Parks (141 such groups). More than 7,000 people participate in a voluntary capacity each year.

An annual forum is held in different locations across the State and draws up to 300 delegates and includes field excursions, a discussion forum on parks and wildlife management issues, awards, guest speakers, a dinner, and a large number of displays.

There are Friends of Parks Groups throughout South Australia. Any of these groups will welcome your membership enquiry. Objectives include manual projects, fund-raising, heritage sites, educational/cultural events, wildlife projects, publications, information displays, social programs, meeting other people and having fun.

Worldwide, the long-term survival of the national parks network is becoming more dependent on volunteer support and community involvement.
