Bushwalking NSW
Bushwalking NSW is the peak body for bushwalkers in NSW and the ACT. It represents the interests of more than 12,000 bushwalkers from 68 bushwalking clubs throughout the state.
Canberra Alpine Club
The Canberra Alpine Club is committed to fostering the conservation of the alpine environment. Their members have decades of bushwalking and skiing experience in Kosciuszko National Park and other alpine areas, and have personally witnessed the damage caused by feral horses. The club supports significantly reducting the numbers of feral horses in Kosciuszko, and the repeal of the Kosciuszko Wild Horse Heritage Act 2018.
Canberra Bushwalking Club
The Canberra Bushwalking Club organises bushwalks, canoe trips and other activities in the ACT, other Australian states and overseas. The club has around 400 members. Club members have been walking in Kosciuszko National Park since the 1960s, and have become very concerned at the dramatic increase in horse damage over the last decade. The Club supports calls for a dramatic reduction in the horse numbers, including the use of lethal culling where necessary.
Friends of Bogong
Feral horses are very damaging to alpine environments, and need to be controlled.
Friends of Currango
Friends of Currango is a non-profit organisation with a strong and co-operative relationship with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Currango Station’s buildings include the oldest surviving, continuously-occupied homestead in Kosciuszko National Park.
Murray Valley Bushwalkers
The Murray Valley Bushwalkers support the Reclaim Kosci campaign because feral animals (including horses) are degrading, compromising and threatening the Kosciuszko National Park’s ecosystems and wilderness values. They want Kosciuszko to be loved and enjoyed by future generations. It is simply not sustainable to allow uncontrolled numbers of brumbies in the park.
Native Fish Australia
Native Fish Australia is a volunteer organisation for those interested in the well being of Australian native freshwater fish and the waters and ecosystems they inhabit. NFA is seriously concerned about the adverse effects that feral horses are having on the delicate headwaters of streams in the Kosciuszko National Park.
New South Wales Nordic Ski Club
Cross country skiing on the roof of Australia in the glorious Kosciuszko National Park since 197.
Northern Rivers Bushwalking Club
This bushwalking club firmly believes in protecting native animals and plants from invasive species such as feral horses. To demonstrate this commitment, three of their members walked 90kms in four days from the southern end of Kosciusko National Park in December 2018 to support the ‘Save Kosci’ protest.
Paddy Pallin
Paddy Pallin has been at the forefront of environmental conservation since the inception of the Paddy Pallin brand in 1930.
“We are proud to support local and national environmental initiatives with a focus on protecting our native plants and animals from invasive species. Paddy Pallin will continue to support Reclaim Kosci for the better of our native environments.”
Park Watch
Park Watch NSW wholeheartedly supports the Invasive Species Council’s Reclaim Kosci campaign to repeal the Kosciuszko Wild Horse Heritage Act 2018. We also support immediate implementation of an approved program for the control of the feral horses. Park Watch condemns the ‘gagging’ of scientists by the NSW Coalition Government from presenting peer reviewed research supporting the control of feral horses.
STEP Inc
The scientific evidence has been ignored. Horses are doing terrible damage to the alpine environment of Kosci so their numbers must be reduced urgently.
