The Friends of the Fitzgerald River National Park (FFRNP) is a independent volunteer community group who assist in the upkeep and conservation of this remarkable National Park. We are involved in bringing people together to enjoy the park, and also in scientific research. The park is the core area of the Fitzgerald Biosphere Reserve, formed in 1978 under the UNESCO ‘Man and the Biosphere’ program.

 

The 2013 Annual General Meeting will be held at Quaalup Wilderness Retreat in the western end of FRNP over the weekend of 16 & 17 March. Please go to Activities Calender and click on the event for details.

The FFRNP began as the Ongerup Conservation Organisation in 1971. It was formed in response to the threat of mining in the then un-managed “C” class nature reserve. The Fitzgerald River National Park was officially gazetted in January 1973. After the threat of mining diminished, the Ongerup Conservation Organisation went into recess and re-formed in 1980 as the FRNP Association, since renamed the Friends of the FRNP.

The seven person committee and approximately other 130 members comprise an active community group on the south coast of Western Australia.
