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. Membership is not the only way you can help. Another simple option is to donate. Even better, join our volunteer team. Currently, we need a social media manager to assist the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize. Can you do that? Respond via the form on our volunteer page, here. |
