Heritage
In November 1998, after celebrating 10 years as a state park, Terrick Terrick was declared a national park. The park is important in maintaining regional biodiversity, protecting significant landscape values and preserving important cultural and archeological features. The park will be managed to protect and restore the unique vegetation community while maintaining the sense of remoteness that attracts many people to the area.
The declaration of Terrick Terrick as a national park was the direct result of the acquisition of a 1277 ha property adjacent to the park. This property contains the largest remnant of endangered northern plains grassland community, and is probably the largest area of high quality remnant grassland vegetation in Victoria. In addition, several species of national and state significance have been recorded here. The values of this property have been retained through a conservative sheep grazing regime with relatively light stocking rates.
