The Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand (Inc) (commonly referred to by its acronym, FMC), is a New Zealand environment and conservation NGO.[1]

It is the only national association of over 110 tramping, mountain climbing clubs and schools. Membership, both financial and associated, is currently (Feb 2016) 20,000.[citation needed] It was founded in 1931 by existing tramping clubs uniting to fight possible threats to New Zealand's National Parks.[citation needed] FMC has continued since then to actively:

  • promote membership of Clubs as a means of enjoying the outdoors
  • advocacy on access issues related to New Zealand's outdoors
  • liaise with Government Ministries and NGO's on all matters related to the outdoors
