The NPWS planning meeting will be held in mid-September between NSW NPWS and KHA. If Caretakers can start considering their work party plans for the coming Summer, that would be great. If you cannot get a work party proposal to me by the 15th September, can you please email me with a basic summary of your intentions for any work parties you wish to conduct and what you hope to achieve. That way, we can plan accordingly and discuss with the relevant rangers.

Working towards organising a work party in November at Frank and Jacks. Awaiting confirmation from NP and dates to be advised following.

A workparty may be organised early in the new year at Pryors Hut if safe to do so at the request of NP. A specialist will review the hut to let us know the outcome. Will keep you posted.

Are you interested in being the caretaker of Lutons Crutching shed ? If so  please indicate in writing  why you would like to be the caretaker and what you can contribute.   A decision will be made by the committee after reviewing the applications. Please note: Lutons Crutching Shed is in a fairly remote area in NNP.
