National Parks

The Department of Environment and Conservation.
The national parks are the responsibility of the Department of Environment and Conservation who have the lead responsibility for protecting the State's environment on behalf of Western Australians. There are many ways to support their stewardship including being aware of your environmental impact while visiting the National Parks. We also recommend their little Bushbooks to gain knowledge about the area and its diversity, which you can buy online from their website.

As a family, we found the objectives of the DEC incredibly inspiring, and hope that this website supports them in: Conserving Bio diversity, Promoting Environmentally Sustainable Practices, in Creating a World-Class Parks System, Protecting the Environment and Maintaining Community Involvement in these issues. We also were touched by their eighth objective which truly exemplifies the organisation as being aware: "Fostering a Positive Work Culture of Trust." We are truly blessed to have them.
