Lamington National Park’s long-term volunteers

Lamington National Park, traditional land of the Danggan Balun (Five Rivers) People, is part of the World Heritage, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. Lamington Natural History Association (LNHA) and Green Mountains Natural History Association (GMNHA) are volunteer organisations that provide information to visitors on Lamington National Park and take part in volunteer activities that contribute to the park’s conservation and management. The associations have been running for over 40 years, in partnership with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service &  Partnerships (QPWS&P). Members volunteer on weekends and school holidays at QPWS&P’s Binna Burra and Green Mountains Visitor Centres, and undertake revegetation and fund raising for projects on park. This partnership has positive effects for the park through protecting and enhancing the parks natural, social and cultural values, improving safety of park visitors while increasing support and knowledge of the park, its values and conservation.
