HOW TO FIND A PARK.
There are multiple resources at hand for VKFF park activators to find the location and/or the boundary of a qualifying VKFF reference area. Below are some that are available.
KML files.
You can use the KML files below to upload to either Google Earth or My Google Maps, to show you the location of VKFF qualifying parks.
Please note that the latitude and longitude are a guide only. Please notify the VKFF National Co-Ordinator should you find an error with the latitude and longitude of a park. Send an email to [email protected]
