Territory Environment
Welcome to the Territory Environment podcast where we discuss everything about what it takes to lead and support the conservation, management and sustainable use of the Territory environment.
We deep dive into managing water, mapping and managing soil and vegetation, regulating industry that operates within the environment, protecting biodiversity and our work to manage weeds and feral animals to allow native species to survive and thrive.
Maybe it’s the science and work behind bushfires and what fuels Territory fires in your region or what it takes to manage the conservation and visitation across the Territory parks and reserves estates that interests you.
No matter what the topic, if it’s got to do with managing and protecting the Territory’s natural resources and environment, then subscribe today.
The Territory Environment Podcast is brought to you by the Northern Territory Government, Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security.

Presenting our Parks, ready for the visitor season
Every year our Park Rangers have a huge job to prepare and get the Territory’s national Parks and Reserves ready for the locals and visitors with the tourist season.
There is so much more to preparing parks then you would ever imagine. It’s not just about cleaning toilets and BBQ’s but also cleaning up after cyclones and bushfires, water quality testing and croc monitoring.
We talk with Louise the District Manager for Darwin Urban Parks and Andrew, the District Manager for Top End Parks about just what our rangers have to do and celebrate the network of volunteers that support the parks, reserves and wildlife rescue.
So if you ever wanted to know where your camping and Park Pass fees are going or perhaps you always wanted to know what it’s like to be a Park Ranger in the Territory!
Then this is the episode for you.
