Organisations that contribute to the protection and management of our flora and fauna.

A good portion of our income and time is allocated to worth while causes. Aside from being regular monthly donors,our business model sees us donating $1 for every $50 of hired equipment to a nominated organisation for a 12 month period (September to August each year to coincide with the commencement of our business).

In our first year of operation, we nominated the Bibbulmun Track Foundation. Once we tally up our turnover for the past 12 mths, we will make good our promise! The Bibbulmun Track Foundation do a terrific job and we are all very proud to be volunteers and supporters of the Foundation.

This year (Sept 08 to Aug 09), we will support the Tasmania Land Conservancy and its efforts to protect "The Vale of Belvoir" (see www.tasland.org.au).

Our monthly donations will continue to support Australian Wildlife Conservancy. We also hope to make good our promise to volunteer our time to maintain a section of their walk trails at Paruna. At some point, they will have received their share of our fortune at it will be time for someone else to benefit.

We also support other organisations through our subscriptions to magazines - Landscope (DEC), Australian Geographic (Australian Geographic Society), Wild (conservation in general) and to a less extend Outer Edge (which is simply encouraging people to get outdoors!).

If you know of an organisation that could benefit from our support, one in which you support also, send us an email. We are looking at ways to share the good fortune we create here at On Track Hiking Hire. It does not have to be environmental - we would be more than happy to provide financial support or our time helping underprivileged children, the poor or the disabled so that everyone can enjoy our wonderful world.

Receiving is about giving first. We love what we do, we love the people we meet and the world we live in. We want all stakeholders be at one with this great planet.

Happy hiking!
