Outdoors New Zealand was established in 1997 as the lead body supporting and representing outdoor recreation and education in New Zealand. We advocate for our members and promote safe, quality participation in the outdoors through innovative research, education, networking, consultancy and standards. Key priorities for ONZ are fostering collaboration and partnerships within the outdoor community, encouraging high quality standards and best practices, and advocating strongly for increased funding and programme support. |

Our growing community includes 100 organisational members from across the country that represent the majority of outdoor educators, industry training organisations, volunteer groups, professional guilds, outdoor recreation and adventure tourism operators in New Zealand. We provide our members with resources, standards, the OutdoorsMark quality assurance scheme, support networks, and strategic leadership. |

We strive to lead the growth of outdoor recreation and education through collaboration, consultancy and strategic leadership in the outdoor community and in government. The ONZ Executive governs the direction that we pursue on behalf of member interests while our staff, resource specialists and Steering Committes lead key initiatives for our sector. |

The Outdoor Forum '09 is coming up in September and we'd like your input. If you’ve attended before, let us know what worked for you. If you’ve never been, this a great opportunity for the whole outdoor community to get together to share knowledge and ideas and discuss important issues and initiatives through workshops, seminars and networking. Get thinking about nominations for The Outdoor Excellence Awards, too. Nomination forms available soon!
