Who we are

Our group was formed in 2026 after successful Ranger Assist working bees held by Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS) at Lake St Clair. We are enthusiastic about helping to look after this beautiful part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and we welcome new members.

Where we work

We work in areas managed by the PWS Lake St Clair Field Centre. These areas include the southern section of Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park, parts of Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, Walls of Jerusalem National Park and the Central Plateau Conservation Area all of which form part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, plus a number of small reserves. Popular walking tracks in the area include the Mt Rufus Circuit, Shadow Lake and Little Hugel track, Lakeside track - Narcissus to Cynthia Bay and Frenchmans Cap track.

What we do

We assist PWS with a range of activities including track maintenance, weed control and /or removal, non-native species surveys and hut maintenance. Our working bees and activities are usually held over multiple days with overnight camping at Cynthia Bay or out on the track.
