Staff from the Australian Alps National Parks partner agencies and other park management agencies across Australia will be joining forces to raise funds for the Thin Green Line Foundation and rangers in need across the globe. Teams of staff will be volunteering their time and leg muscles to walk one of 17 x three day legs of the Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) which stretches across the Australian Alps National Parks and Reserves for 650kms.  A team will commence from Walhalla, Victoria at the the start of the AAWT, on 1st November handing on a ‘message stick’ in a relay style walking event with the last team planned to finish at Namadgi NP Visitors Centre on 11th December to coincide with International Mountains Day.All funds raised will go to the the Thin Green Line Foundation that was established in 2004 with the purpose to Protects Nature’s Protectors working predominantly in developing nations and conflict zones, and with Indigenous Park Rangers within Australia and abroad, by providing vital support to Park Rangers and their communities who are less well off and are the front-line of conservation, . If you would like to get involved by volunteering to walk a section, or by sponsoring or donating towards this event please get in touch and register your interest with the event organising committee reps:
