Protecting an Outdoor Life
Worth Living

The voice of Aotearoa New Zealand’s outdoor recreation community, we stand for the freedom of the hills.

Federated Mountain Clubs represents individuals and 100 clubs who explore Aotearoa New Zealand’s wild places. We celebrate outdoor recreation, cherish our backcountry and take action to protect both for future generations.

FMC is an independent, not-for-profit organisation. Founded in 1931, we now represent over 22,000 outdoors people.

Our Legacy, Our Impact

Together, we are moving mountains

Be it advocating for wise management of New Zealand’s conservation land, protecting public access to it, supporting our members or providing a space for a constructive debate – our work has and continues to create a positive impact.
