Community building, conservation and the environment.
Location
Western Australia
Origins
The Great Walk, a 650 km supported bushwalk to raise awareness of logging old-growth forests in 1988.
Method
Studies have shown people tend to act to protect the environment when they spend time in areas of environmental significance. Great Walk Networking offers opportunities for people of all ages to visit, walk and live in such areas throughout Western Australia, two to four times a year for approximately ten days. During this time, the Walk forms a travelling and self-supporting bushwalking community with a focus on environmental issues.
Revenue
Primarily self-supporting with occasional grants.
Endowment
Great Walk Networking was bequeathed a block of land near Nannup, Western Australia by John Thomson, a renowned forester and conservationist.

Great Walk Networking, also known as Great Walk Network, is a bushwalking community in Western Australia. The Great Walk started in 1988 as a protest walk from Denmark to Parliament House in Perth, to raise awareness of logging in Western Australia's old growth forests.
The organisation of the first Walk was also an Australian Bicentenary celebration to appreciate the environment of Southwest Australia, which is home to a relatively small but unique tall forest heritage: the world's only Eucalyptus marginata (Jarrah), E. diversicolor (karri), E. jacksonii (Tingle), E. wandoo subsp. wandoo (Wandoo[1]), E. patens (Blackbutt) and E. gomphocephala (Tuart) forests grow there.
Since 1988, different people have organized walks a few times each year. Most Walks are still organized with a focus on raising awareness of conservation and land use issues.[2] Great Walk Networking is a non-profit voluntary organization.[3]
