WWFF Parks Hunted per year
Looking in Log4OM Awards noticed you can apply a date filter to an award, so for the WWFF award I applied filters for each year from 2012 to the present, and entered the total number of parks worked each year into a spreadsheet.
There were not many WWFF park activations until 2015, when a lot of parks got added, including the ACT Canberra Nature Parks.
The slump in 2020 was due to Covid 19, put a stop to activating parks...
I retired in 2021, giving me the chance to hunt parks on the weekdays. Peak seemed to be around 2023. The solar cycle tends to affect park activations worked too. Having peaked in 2025 would expect this year to be down, although there are more park activators now which might help bring this up.
