We organise more than 200 trips a year that include tramping and alpine, as well as kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing and more. We also organise volunteer projects, support our members to develop their outdoor skills and offer plenty of opportunities for you to get involved with our community – whether it’s organising trips and social events, educating other members, participating in volunteer conservation projects, entering our photo competition and much more.
At our new members night, you can meet members, ask questions about how we organise our trips and find out what trips you might want to go on. Not to mention there will be plenty of biscuits and cake!
Whether you’re a seasoned tramper, new to tramping or even just curious about tramping – come along.

Mountain to Sea - Freshwater in the New Zealand - Mike Joy
2019-06-05 19:00 | Google Hangouts, 4 Moncrieff Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
Senior Researcher at the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria University Wellington, Mike Joy will be talking about his work examining freshwater in New Zealand:
“Our streams rivers lakes and groundwater are being degraded as we intensify agriculture and housing in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the freshwater policies developed over at least the last ten years in New Zealand have moved further from their scientific underpinnings with each new iteration. For the fish in our waterways the connection to the ocean is crucial as are the connections between the land and the freshwater. This talk will discuss the importance of all the connections and why we need to lift our game on protecting all freshwater.”
Mike has recently published From Mountains to Sea: Solving New Zealand’s Freshwater Crisis.
