CORANZ

The Council represents and advocates for the intersts of the million or more New Zealanders who participate in outdoor recreation.

CORANZ has no party affiliations or aliances.

Most New Zealanders have enjoyed the outdoors at some time in their lives. Walking, salt and freshwater fishing, tramping, yachting, surfing, hunting and shooting, and mountain biking are among the twenty most popular recreational and sporting activities in the country. It has been estimated, more than a million New Zealanders have an active outdoor recreational interest. New Zealanders greatly value the right to enjoy outdoor recreation, as part of the "Kiwi" quality of life. Outdoor recreation is a major component of the national cultural heritage.
