We’re Passionate About Parks
NPAQ advocates for the protection, expansion, effective management and presentation of national parks. We celebrate getting kids out into our parks and reserves, and we operate Junior Ranger school holiday programs in collaboration with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) gateway visitor centres – David Fleay Wildlife Park and Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre, as well offering NPAQ bushwalking, outdoor recreation and volunteer campground host activity programs, and opportunities to participate in community conservation and Citizen Science projects. We support the development and application of scientific and professional knowledge in advancing national parks, protected areas and nature conservation.
Keep kids engaged over the holidays with the Parks Connect Junior Ranger program!
NPAQ encourages families to interact with, learn from and appreciate our natural environment. Getting kids out into nature is a chance for excitement and lifelong learning, but it also significantly improves their physical and mental well-being. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to offer families a host of exciting Junior Ranger holiday activities in January 2025 at QPWS gateway visitor centres on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane.
