The Friends of Wyperfeld National Park

The Friends of Wyperfeld National Park is a group of volunteers that meet regularly in the park to undertake a variety of projects that benefit the park.

The group was formed in 1976 and has met at least once a year since that time.

We now have gatherings three times a year:

• The ANZAC Weekend in April
• The June (King's Birthday) Long Weekend - when we have our AGM
• The first weekend in October

The Friends are responsible for many of the great things you see in the park, including:

• The development and maintenance of the Discovery, Tyakil and Desert Nature Trails.
• Planting thousands of native pine trees on dunes that had been denuded by fires and over-grazing.
• Mapping invasive weeds and assisting with their eradication. The Wonga Campground is now free of the noxious Horehound largely due to the consistent effort of the Friends.
• The Buloke Woodland Regeneration program to restore some of the degraded woodland areas in the south of the park.
• The solar lighting system in the Wonga Campground Information Centre and toilet blocks.
• Investigations into the native flora of the park.
• Development of the Wyperfeld App which provides detailed information about the features of the park.
• For more information about recent events and activities go to the Friends of Wyperfeld National Park Facebook page.
