Bushwalking Tracks and Conservation (BTAC)
Bushwalking Tracks and Conservation (BTAC) focus is on tracks and trails strategies, exploring opportunities for new or upgrading tracks, articulating a vision that bushwalkers want for the future, and undertaking fieldwork in Victoria's national parks and state forest.
BTAC Volunteers carry out hands-on work on tracks and conservation projects. Our projects are carried out under the auspices of relevant land managers, by Parks Victoria (in Victorian national and state parks) and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (in Victorian state forests).
Works traditionally include clearing fallen trees and vegetation from existing walking tracks, building or repairing boardwalks, installing or replacing track markers and signage, and identifying and removing noxious weeds.
Our preference is to volunteer in the more remote and difficult to reach areas of the State where there is often no local pool of volunteers for the land managers to draw upon.
Assisting the BTAC Committee is a network of Field Officers. Field Officers are responsible for a designated geographic area. They liaise and network with local bushwalking clubs and the land managers. Field Officers represent BTAC with land managers at the local level.
If you are interested in becoming a BTAC Volunteer email your interest to btac@bushwalkingvictoria.org.au
We also encourages all our volunteers to register on the Parks Victoria Volunteer portal ParkConnect and join the Bushwalking Victoria group.
