How we keep it special

More people are connecting with Victoria’s natural and cultural landscapes than ever before, which is why Parks Victoria supports healthy and resilient parks for current and future generations.

Parks Victoria is responding to climate change, extreme weather events, human impacts, previous land management practices, invasive species and the changing distribution of plants and animals that is challenging park management and conservation efforts.
