The Phillip Island Nature Parks is a not-for-profit, environmental agency, directed by a Committee – the Phillip Island Nature Park Board of Management Inc. It is responsible for most Crown Land on Phillip Island, including much of the coastline, nearly all remnant vegetation, significant populations of Little Penguins, Hooded Plovers, Short-tailed Shearwaters and Australian Fur Seals, and parts of the Western Port Ramsar site (internationally significant wetlands), including Rhyll Inlet.
The Penguin Parade, Nobbies Centre, Koala Conservation Centre and Churchill Island (all managed by the Park) are world class ecotourism destinations providing quality wildlife experiences.
We do not receive ongoing funding from the state or federal governments and must generate our own revenue to ensure the Park remains viable. Therefore volunteer assistance is most appreciated.
You can volunteer to assist with one of our programs or donate to the Penguin Foundation
