Nymboi-Binderay National Park

Park management activities

Preserving biodiversity

Nymboi-Binderay National Park is home to endangered species, and protecting these is key to upholding the park’s biodiversity. Species monitoring, management and other conservation activities are ongoing in this park.

Managing weeds, pest animals and other threats

Pests and weeds have a significant impact to the ecosystems within Nymboi-Binderay National Park. NPWS carries out risk assessments for new and emerging weeds and works to control high priority weeds such as privet to protect biodiversity in this park.

Historic heritage in our parks and reserves

Visitors to Nymboi-Binderay National Park can see and experience a range of historic sites and important remnants of NSW’s early timber industry. NPWS is committed to conserving and interpreting these assets, and their assessment, monitoring and management are ongoing.

Conserving our Aboriginal culture

Aboriginal culture is of great value to NPWS, and the condition of Aboriginal sites is reviewed and upgraded as required in Nymboi-Binderay National Park. NPWS works closely with the Gumbaynggir Aboriginal community and local Aboriginal land councils with regards to researching, acknowledging and maintaining Aboriginal heritage in this park, and Aboriginal cultural values are assessed and incorporated into park management decisions.

Managing fire

NSW is one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world as a result of our climate, weather systems, vegetation and the rugged terrain. NPWS is committed to maintaining natural and cultural heritage values and minimising the likelihood and impact of bushfires via a strategic program of fire research, fire planning, hazard reduction, highly trained rapid response firefighting crews and community alerts.
