FMC 2025 Annual Report Launched

The FMC 95th Annual Report is now live.

The report provides an overview of our work throughout 2025, highlighting our wins, financial summary, and key areas of focus in each region.

We would like to thank our funders – The Maerewhenua Trust and FMC Mountain & Forest Trust – and our members whose continued support has allowed us to advocate for our wild places and support the outdoor recreation sector.

As a non-profit run by our volunteer executive members and a small staff team, this support is vital to everything we do.

To read our annual report, you can access it publicly here.

To support our efforts, you can join FMC. As well as supporting our advocacy efforts and raising awareness of issues affecting the outdoor recreation sector, you also receive some awesome member benefits (discounts, Backcountry magazine, entry to our photo competition, and more!).
