    The Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory has launched its Ranger talk program for 2013! The program is called “Territory Parks Alive” and includes FREE walks and talks in many Parks and Reserves across the NT. The program is an opportunity for visitors and locals to meet a local Ranger and learn more about our special places. We have talks about termites, rare plants and animals, geology, fossils, Aboriginal culture, bush tucker and lots, lots more. The talks come in all different forms including talks around the camp fire, slideshows at night, guided walks and hands on activities. These talks are a great opportunity for families to enjoy our magic Parks and to engage kids in their natural environment. Download a brochure and come join us today!
