National Parks Journal - Park Management Admittedly the low key nature of many of the visitor facilities in New Zealand parks are preferable to the inappropriate mega-developments on the wilderness fringe of parks such as Washpool and South East Forest national parks. National parks, nature reserves and remote camping grounds in New Zealand are managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC), a government agency. This is in stark contrast to the squeamish approach of NSW authorities whose 'softly, softly' approach results in no effective control of feral pests such as deer in Royal National Park or horses in Kosciuszko, Guy Fawkes River and Oxley-Wild Rivers national parks. www.npansw.org.au /web/journal/200404/features-management.htm   (560 words)
