Blue Mountains Conservation Society Inc

About us

The Blue Mountains Conservation Society is an incorporated voluntary group of about nine hundred members helping to conserve the World Heritage Blue Mountains region.
We are governed by a management committee with much of our conservation work being undertaken by sub-committees and campaigns.

We also have a Native Plant Nursery, several Bushwalking Groups and a Bushcare Group.

The Katoomba and District Wildlife Conservation Society (the original name of the BMCS) was formed in 1961, when a group of concerned residents met to determine the action that they could take to help protect the Blue Mountains environment.

The Society celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2001 and its 50th anniversary in 2011.

The Society celebrated its 60th anniversary with a special edition of Hut News. It contained many reminiscences. The Society timeline webpage was created from this edition.

Here's a brief history of the Society and our logo.
