Denmark Environment Centre Inc.
The objectives of the association are;
1. The primary objective of the Association is to encourage the continuation of natural processes in the ecosystems as represented in the park and to develop the enrichment of human life through the experience of the natural surroundings without placing this objective at risk;
2. To develop through research and understanding and an inventory of the resources and history of the William Bay National Park (“WBNP”);
3. To promote communication and interaction with those responsible for policy and management plans for the WBNP;
4. To provide a focal point for persons with an interest in the objectives described above; and
5. To pursue similar objectives to those described for the WBNP in respect of other areas determined by the Association.
The objectives shall be pursued in a spirit of co-operation and consultation with the Department of Conservation of Land Management (“CALM”) nevertheless recognising the over-riding right of the Association to promote views which may differ from those of CALM.
The Association in pursuing these objectives, seeks to supplement rather than supplant the work of CALM employees and does not seek special privileges for its members.
The property and income of the Association shall be applied solely towards the promotion of the objects of the Association and no part of that property or income may be paid or otherwise distributed, directly or indirectly, to members, except in good faith in the promotion of those objects.
