Friends of Freycinet
Where do we volunteer?
We assist the Parks and Wildlife Service Rangers to care for and manage the Freycinet National Park on the east coast of Tasmania. This spectacular coastal park, with spectacular beaches and pink granite mountains is Tasmana's busiest National Park with over 200,000 visitors a year. It was also the first National Park in Tasmania (declared at the same time as Mt Field National Park). For more information about the park visit www.parks.tas.gov.au
What do we do?
Among a wide variety of volunteering opportunities we are involved with the Schouten Island Caretaker Program and the annual Schouten Island Expeditions . This very successful annual project has almost entirely removed gorse form the island over a 12 year period. There are usually 2 trips to the Island each year. Each year we clear all the beaches in the Park of Sea Spurge. Other projects and programs are currently being discussed with the PWS staff.
