The broad membership of the group is made up of people who have an interest in conservation and improvement of our natural environment. Some of these members have specialised skills which enhance the group's ability to meet its objectives. The Friends of Parks system allows members to obtain training in various relevant courses but a desire to help manage and protect the natural environment is the only prerequisite to joining.

SOME MEMBERS HAVE THESE SKILLS:
1. Snake awareness course
2. Chain saw course
3. Bushwalking experience
4. Certificate for herbicide usage
5. Botanical expertise
6. Photography
7. Reptile interest
8. Mapping
9. Weed management
10. Publishing literature on identification of species
11. Amateur ornithologist

In the past the group has conducted herbicide trials on Asparagus asparagoides (Bridal creeper) and Scabiosa atropurpurea (Scabiosa).

The group has alliances on several projects (including fund raising) with City of Victor Harbor, Fleurieu Animal & Plant Control Board and several private land holders. All work is facilitated by a staff member of the Fleurieu District Office of the Department for Environment & Heritage, who acts as Project Manager for the group. Participants are covered by insurance through the Community Liaison Unit of the Department for Environment & Heritage. A small annual fee of $5-00 is required to assist with administration costs and publication of the quarterly newsletter.
