GRAMPIANS NATIONAL PARK WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE

"What a special and incredible experience" - Joanne

Throughout the world there is growing recognition of the vital contribution parks make to a healthy environment, to the health of individuals and to a healthy society. Getting involved with parks can have healthy benefits for you and your community and this unique wildlife experience is a great way for you to get involved – in the heart of the Grampians National Park.

During this program you will  contribute to an important research project monitoring vulnerable and endangered native wildlife. Play a hands on role in the monitoring of small mammal populations in remote locations within this spectacular and much loved National Park.  You will work in small groups, alongside a Park Ranger to check traps and collate data.To date the project has helped further the knowledge of small mammals in Western Victoria. The project has rediscovered the nationally vulnerable Long Nosed Potoroo and found new populations of the nationally vulnerable Heath Mouse and nationally endangered Southern Brown Bandicoot.  You will also have the opportunity to explore the National Park and visit areas off the typical tourism route.

Mammal trapping activities require an early morning start and walking on unmarked tracks through flat bush land areas for up to 8 kilomtres a day.
