Kia ora,

There are only two days left before Love our Huts campaign turns into action, so we want to share with you the most recent updates.

Exciting Milestone
We’ve just hit our 400th hut registered - what a fantastic achievement! As of last week, we now have over 400 huts registered, and interest is really snowballing.

Our Purpose
Love Our Huts aims to inspire and mobilize the outdoor community to protect and care for Aotearoa New Zealand’s network of backcountry huts, ensuring they remain accessible and loved for future generations.

Can You Still Register?
Yes, absolutely! You can easily sign up at fmc.org.nz/love-our-huts-and-tracks/ and register the huts you’re keen to look after. If you want to add more huts, simply re-register for the additional ones at the same link. You'll find the lists of huts still available on our web page. Once registered, we’ll send out info packs and stickers to get you started.

What’s Involved?
To give you a better idea of what's involved, we're attaching a digital copy of the survey form and the welcome letter you’ll receive. For DOC’s serviced huts, there’s no need for a complete spring clean - just a quick tidy-up and a check on the status and hut book will do!

How You Can Help

• Get Others Involved: The best way to spread the word is through personal connections. If you know anyone who shares a love for the outdoors, please tap them on the shoulder and invite them to join Love Our Huts. Your help with this is greatly appreciated!
• Share Your Hut Love: Once you’ve given your hut(s) some TLC, we’d love to see your selfies on the Love Our Huts Facebook group or your FB or Instagram! Show us the huts you’ve visited and share your adventures. Don’t forget to tag us - @federatedmountainclubs! And if your friends are OK with that, tag them too!

Thank You!
A huge thanks to everyone who’s already part of Love our Huts. Together, we’re showing just how important our incredible network of huts and tracks is, and we’re doing our part to care for and protect them.

See you in the hills!
