The park, which is in five sections, contains spectacular sandstone cliffs, a number of Aboriginal sites, important vegetation communities and acts as a wildlife corridor between Brisbane Water National Park to the east and Dharug National Park to the west.
Popran National Park is one of a large group of predominantly sandstone parks and reserves that forms a green belt around metropolitan Sydney. The maintenance of this concept of “corridors of green” linking areas of bush land across a wide range of environments is important for the conservation of natural biodiversity.
This plan of management maintains the important natural values and isolated recreation qualities of the park. It also provides for the Aboriginal sites within the park to be protected and managed in liaison with the local Aboriginal community. Recording of the park’s resources and research into the park and its management will be encouraged.
