Together with the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River national parks, Lesueur is one of the most significant areas for flora conservation in south-western Australia.

The Role of Wilderness in Nature Conservation Bardwell (1974) concludes that the factors important in the establishment of the first national parks were urbanisation, the rapid growth in popularity of outdoor recreation, expansion of the conservation and national park movements, and trends in relationship between humans and nature. The first National Park in Australia and the second in the world was established at Point Hacking in NSW (now the Royal National Park) and, in the tradition of Yellowstone National Park, the imperative for protection was recreation (Mosley 1978, Ramsey 1995). National parks were established at Yellowstone in 1872 and subsequently at Yosemite in 1890. www.heritage.gov.au /anlr/code/pubs/rolewild.html   (18763 words)

Flora Griffin and Hopkins (1990) report 821 plant taxa from the Lesueur National Park, representing about 10% of the State’s known flora and a third of the taxa in the Irwin Botanical District. Whilst detailed floristic surveys are not available it is significant that the Gunyidi/Marchagee area, including the Watheroo National Park and surrounding crown lands, is also an area supporting a highly diverse flora. Recently, however, a survey undertaken by CALM recorded 1071 taxa in Kalbarri National Park, including over 200 range limits suggesting an equally rich flora in other areas of the region. www.nacc.com.au /calci/Diversity/Biodiversity/Vegetation%20Communities/flora.htm   (756 words)

The Chairman's Musing Most National Trusts in Australia were started by scions of old settler families who cherished their pioneering origins, and wanted to preserve the cultural heritage which their families built. Public parks like the Ballarat Botanical Gardens say This is where good children and their parents get seemly and orderly recreation and education. So the National Trust must carry the burden of informing the public about important heritage issues and, when appropriate, it must fiercely defend the State's heritage against depredations whether from the State government, local government or from private enterprise. www.ntwa.com.au /whatson/links-00winter.shtml   (1422 words)
