FMC, the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association, and eight other leading outdoor recreation organisations have submitted jointly on the Conservation Amendment Bill.

FMC has submitted about the lack of consultation with FMC or other outdoor recreation groups about the disposal of the Evangeline Bivvy in Lake Sumner (Hora Kura) Forest Park.

New Zealand's leading outdoor recreation groups have joined forces to call for the Conservation Amendment Bill's core aspects to be redrafted, in particular to provide public reassurance to New Zealanders that their recreational land is not for sale.
