The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife funds provided the addition of 607 hectares to Myall Lakes National Park.
Myall Lakes includes a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, as well as 40 km of beaches, giant sand dunes and areas of forest.
The Grandis, a 76 m high flooded gum, is one of the tallest trees in the state.
Myall Lakes National Park supports 41 species of mammal including kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots, native mice, antechinuses, bats, and the spotted-tailed quoll. An endangered koala population lives around the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest area and extends into the southern area of the park.
Significant populations of birds frequent the Myall Lakes wetlands, including black swans, egrets, herons, white-breasted sea eagles, whistling kites, black-necked storks, little terns, osprey and many other species.
The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife is the only organisation in Australia whose philanthropy is an investment in our public estate, for all to enjoy.
