THE FIORDLAND RECREATION AND CONSERVATION TRUST
Fiordland Recreation and Conservation Trust
The Fiordland Recreation and Conservation Trust (FRCT) was established in 2018 after having long
standing concerns regarding recreational users representation on issues that affect them in Fiordland.
It has been difficult for individuals and recreational clubs to be heard and represented on the variety of issues that directly impact them when in the Fiordland area. Likewise, its been difficult for regulatory bodies to identify and communicate with individuals and clubs due to the wide distribution and numbers involved.
The FRCT has primarily been set up to be the representative body of all recreational users of Fiordland. Having one organization with one contact point, that has a mandate of support from the recreation sector, would allow better communication and information sharing between relevant bodies.
Our Mission
Without limiting the generality of clause General purposes, the primary charitable/philanthropic purposes of the Trust are:
1. To encourage and support recreation activities, promote best boating and fishing practices, facilitate access to all public areas throughout the Fiordland National Park and associated coastline and Fiords.
