Printed by Derek Kelly 54 1226 Photo by Russ Ketlord Typeset by Top Typesetters 51 6550 PRESIDENTS FOREWORD The final Plan of Management for Namadgi National Park will shortly be released and once again we can take pleasure in welcoming a document which incorporates a number of the points sought by this Association in its submission on the Draft Plan. Much of the credit for this belongs to Den Robin, our hard working nominee on the Consultative Committee. Thanks Den. It is encouraging to see that the Consultative Committee, which is something this Association fought for, is really working. It is that time of the year again when we will be electing new committee members. The Association has a committee of up to 12 members which is assisted by seven permanent sub-committees each of which handles one aspect of our varied activities. The sub-committees are concerned with Namadgi National Park, Environmental issues outside Namadgi, Publicity and Education, Outings, Finance and Marketing, Bulletin production and our publication on Native Trees in the ACT. There is therefore plenty of scope for becoming involved in whichever aspect of our activities excites your interest. Think about where your interests and abilities lie, talk to present committee or sub-committee members about what is involved and then volunteer. Don't wait to be asked. You will find increased involvement in Association activities a rewarding experience. ENVIRONMENT Bay.

  • Australian Alps Education Kit – Teacher's Notes
    teacher’s notes for THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS The Australian Alps, in all their richness, complexity and power to engage, are presented here as a resource for secondary students and their teachers who are studying... • Aboriginal Studies • Geography • Australian History • Biology • Tourism • Outdoor and Environmental Science ...with resources grouped within a series of facts sheets on soils, climate, vegetation, fauna, fire, Aboriginal people, mining, grazing, water catchment recreation and tourism, conservation. EDUCATION RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES 1/7 teacher’s notes This is an education resource catering for the curriculum needs of students at Year 7 through 12, across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The following snap- shots show the Australian Alps as an effective focus for study. • The alpine and sub-alpine terrain in Australia is extremely small, unique and highly valued as a water supply as well as for its environmental, cultural, historic and recrea- tional significance. • Most of the Australian Alps lie within national parks with state and federal governments working cooperatively to manage these reserves as one bio-geographical area. • Climate, landforms and soils vary as altitude increases and so create a variety of envi- ronments where different plants grow together in communities. These in turn provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Many of these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world and some are considered threatened or endangered. • The Alps reflect a history of diverse uses and connections including Aboriginal occupation, European exploration, grazing, mining, timber saw milling, water harvesting, conservation, recreation and tourism. Retaining links with this past is an important part of managing the region.
