You are reading the non-members version of this newsletter - which means you are not (yet) a member. If you were to become an APA member, you would then be able to book for any of our Guided Walks for free, and you would also unlock 15% discounts to all the merch in the APA Shop. More importantly, your membership fee (as low as $20 per year for a single concession) would be tangible support for our Park Lands strategies: Explore, Inspire, Protect and Restore. What are you waiting for? But membership is not the only way you can help. Another simple option is to donate. Even better, join our volunteer team. Choose from the various potential roles we've described on our volunteer page, here. |
