Future parks

Our priorities for increased protection are:

• coastal waters
• the great forests of the Central Highlands and East Gippsland
• the central west forests such as Wombat (near Daylesford), Wellsford (near Bendigo), Mt Cole and the Pyrenees
• the western and urban grasslands on Melbourne’s fringe.

Covenants and direct purchase should also be increased to better conserve nature on private land.
