Caring for the Alps

Leave no trace

Care for the Alps now – so they’ll be just as wonderful in the future.

The exceptional natural and cultural values of the Australian Alps national parks offer a diverse range of experiences and recreation opportunities which attract more than two million visitors to the region annually.

In order to ensure that the Australian Alps’ fragile environment with unique plants and animals is protected and preserved, we ask that every visitor learns about the alps environment and takes simple steps to minimise the impacts you have on the environment as well as other visitors.

Respect the traditional Aboriginal owners and their country as well as other visitors by aiming to leave the area as you found it.

No matter what kind of activities you enjoy in the Alps, you can minimise the impacts you have on the environment and other visitors by following the simple guidelines described here. Challenge yourself to leave as little trace of your visit as possible.
