Good news, but does NPWS have the capability to manage all this land?

Its current (excellent) rewilding initiative is only a small fraction of the existing National Park

During my NPWS career I once did a rush-hour gig in Parramatta Mall giving out a new brochure. I was given a tame 1.5m Diamond Python to drape around by neck but it was a cold morning so to keep warm the python wrapped itself around my head like a turban. I felt completely ridiculous.

At today's Heritage Ireland 2030 Summit, we enjoyed meeting archaeological & built heritage experts, plus Niall Ó Donnchú, Niamh Farren & Dr Andy Bleasdale of @npwsireland.bsky.social. On NPWS's youth outreach, Clare Bromley said, "Nature interpretation is about provoking people to feel & to think"💭

I was one of the NPWS “seasonal rangers” who developed and led the first public tours of these fascinating Port Jackson fortifications, and also those at Botany Bay.

Desperately sad that HPAI (bird flu) seems to be back at Inch, with the NPWS collecting multiple corpses.

Yes thats an increase of 100m on current annual expenditure based on an independent assessment commissioned by the NPWS. The final cost to 2030 and beyond will depend on the detail of the Nature Restoration Plan. The government should have ringfenced funds accordingly. We will have to see.

Communities are being lost, but it didn't start in recent years when the NPWS started buying up land.

There is a better way, and the INHFA stopped farmers benefitting from the NRL.
