TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.
When you join the NZDA you join the national association and your local Branch or the Direct Supporters branch.
If you are living overseas or wish to join and support NZDA without participating in a local branch or there is no branch near you then you can simply click this link to join the Direct Supporter branch as a direct NZDA member.
To join a local branch, use the Branches page or locate your nearest branch using the Branch Finder tool.
NZDA Branches – your local hunting club
By joining a NZDA branch you connect to a local network of like-minded individuals who share the common goal of enjoying hunting in your community.
You can enjoy all the facilities, meetings, events and competitions offered by your branch.
You work to make a difference by getting involved in hunting, education, club nights, competitions, volunteer work and conservation projects.
You give back to your community and share your passion for hunting with that community.
You strengthen NZDA projects and advocacy while also protecting our hunting heritage.
Contact your nearest branch to learn more about the activities of NZDA branches using the Branch Finder tool.
