Fiordland Wapiti Foundation

In 1993 a group of hunters founded The Fiordland Wapiti Foundation, initially as a deer management program. Since then, the Foundation has become guardians of one of Aotearoas’ treasures – Te Waipounamu World Heritage -Fiordland National Park. One of the world’s most prestigious wilderness areas.

Formed to address the potential threat to flora and fauna of the Fiordland National Park caused by Wapiti deer, an introduced species, while maintaining a quality herd for future trophy hunting opportunities.

Out of that deer management grows a responsibility for Fiordland, a responsibility not only for the Wapiti deer but also for Fiordland and its environment.

Amongst other donation schemes, the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation runs an extensive predator trapping programme to suppress the stoats, rats and other pests which threaten to overwhelm precious taonga such as whio, kiwi and kea. FWF maintain tracks and huts so every New Zealander can access Fiordland and enjoy its wilderness.

Country Club will donate to FWF annually.

$1 of every Duck Shooting with the Best Mate and King of the Bush print sold, will be donated to the FWF. Thank you for helping us support this great initiative!
