FMC’s 90th anniversary celebration
Regretfully cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.
Taonga Lands and Waters:
Conservation and Recreation for the Future
Kia ora tatou,
It is with regret that I must let you know that due to the Covid pandemic, Federated Mountain Clubs has cancelled our 90th Celebration: Taonga Lands and Waters: Conservation and Recreation for the Future.
To all those who registered to attend, FMC deeply appreciates your commitment to the conference and its kaupapa. All registration fees will be refunded as soon as possible. Please contact administrator@fmc.org.nz if you have not received your refund by the end of October.
We look forward to a special Backcountry feature in March next year with contributions from as many of our speakers as possible. Commemorative 90th Anniversary T-shirts are also available from our friends at UNCO tees. Visit www.fmc.org.nz/90th-tee to order.
Just a few ways that we’ll be able to honour the milestone, despite cancellation of the celebration.
Again, thankyou for your support.
Ka mihi,
Jan Finlayson.

We’re excited to share the new FMC Executive Committee, taking office on June 1 2026.
For over ten years, FMC has been involved in efforts to protect the Waitaha River. FMC made its first submission opposing the scheme in 2016, celebrated it being declined in 2019, and has spent the past 12 months fighting for a voice through the Fast-Track process. Throughout it all, FMC has been advocating for the Waitaha, publicly and behind the scenes.
FMC has submitted on a proposed land exchange that would see 29.7 hectares of conservation land in the eastern Ruahine Forest Park swapped for 170 hectares of private land, to enable the construction of a dam and reservoir on the Makaroro River.
