Federated Mountain Clubs
Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand is the national association of over 100 mountain clubs, representing a total of over 11,000 individual members.
FMC’s objectives are to promote:
- our clubs’ activities
- training and safe use of the backcountry
- its preservation and sound management
We also work to protect rights of access to the countryside.
Our member clubs range from single interest groups to large alpine and tramping clubs whose members go tramping, mountaineering, skiing, canoeing, mountainbiking, hunting and walking. They are based in cities and small towns, from Whangarei to Invercargill. Clubs range in size from 15 - 20 members, to clubs with over 1000 members
FMC publishes the FMC Bulletin, a quarterly magazine of news, views, philosophy and information which is distributed free to affiliated club members.
